Melodic Contour-based Qbh Systems: Analytical Modeling and Performance Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper proposes an analytical modeling of important parameters in a melody-based Query-byHumming system, and proposes a new function to characterise the performance of such systems. Results of experiments with analytical models, as well as an actual QBH system give results consistent with empirical results mentioned in the literature.

Optimal Parameter Estimation and Performance Modelling in Melodic Contour-based Qbh Systems
This paper analyses factors affecting the performance of a melodic contour-based QBH system, and presents an analytical model for the same. We present a constrained optimisation framework to find the optimal values of performance-affecting system parameters.
متن کاملA Stochastic Representation of the Dynamics of Sung Melody
In this paper, we propose a stochastic representation of a sung melodic contour, called stochastic phase representation (SPR), which can characterize both musical-note information and the dynamics of singing behaviors included in the melodic contour. The SPR is constructed by fitting probability distribution functions to F0 trajectories in the F0-∆F0 phase plane. Since fluctuations in singing c...
متن کاملAnalyzing the influence of pitch quantization and note segmentation on singing voice alignment in the context of audio-based Query-by-Humming
Query-by-Humming (QBH) systems base their operation on aligning the melody sung/hummed by a user with a set of candidate melodies retrieved from polyphonic songs. While MIDI-based QBH builds on the premise of existing annotated transcriptions for any candidate song, audiobased research makes use of melody estimation algorithms for the songs. In both cases, a melody abstraction process is requir...
متن کاملQBH System Using Melody Matching Model based on a String Pattern Matching mechanism of Frequency Contours
Query by humming (QBH) refers to music information retrieval systems where short audio clips of singing or humming act as queries. Melody is considered as the most important feature in the queries and the songs. This system proposes a QBH system Using Melody Matching Model Based on a string pattern matching mechanism of frequency contours, which is used to align the input pitch frequency contou...
متن کاملA Top-down Approach to Melody Match in Pitch Contour for Query by Humming
In this paper, a novel frame-based algorithm called recursive alignment(RA) for query-by-humming(QBH) application is presented. Compared with other approaches, RA optimizes melody alignment problems in a top-down fashion which is more capable of capturing longdistance information in human singing. Three RA variations which run much faster at the expense of less accuracy are presented, and they ...
