An Auditory Streaming Approach on Melody Extraction
نویسنده
چکیده
The MIREX (Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange) framework provides a common set of data to evaluate and compare a vast variety of MIR systems. This paper describes our submission to the audio melody extraction evaluation addressing the task of identifying the melody pitch contour from polyphonic musical audio. It shall give an overview about the used methods and a discussion of the evaluation results. The presented algorithm is a derivative of our submission to MIREX’05. Therefor we will outline changes between the two versions and discuss the impact of the further developments. The MIREX 2006 evaluation results show that our algorithm performs best in pitch detection and melody extraction.

An Auditory Streaming Approach for Melody Extraction from Polyphonic Music
This paper proposes an efficient approach for the identification of the predominant voice from polyphonic musical audio. The algorithm implements an auditory streaming model which builds upon tone objects and salient pitches. The formation of voices is based on the regular update of the frequency and the magnitude of so called streaming agents, which aim at salient tones or pitches close to the...
متن کاملTowards Computational Auditory Scene Analysis: Melody Extraction from Polyphonic Music
This paper describes an efficient method for the identification of the melody voice from the frame-wise updated magnitude and frequency values of tone objects. Most state of the art algorithms employ a probabilistic framework to find the best succession of melody tones. Often such methods fail, if there are several musical voices with a comparable strength in the audio mixture. In this paper, w...
متن کاملThe acoustic and perceptual cues affecting melody segregation for listeners with a cochlear implant
Our ability to listen selectively to single sound sources in complex auditory environments is termed "auditory stream segregation."This ability is affected by peripheral disorders such as hearing loss, as well as plasticity in central processing such as occurs with musical training. Brain plasticity induced by musical training can enhance the ability to segregate sound, leading to improvements ...
متن کاملHorizontal and Vertical Integration/Segregation in Auditory Streaming: A Voice Separation Algorithm for Symbolic Musical Data
Listeners are thought to be capable of perceiving multiple voices in music. Adopting a perceptual view of musical ‘voice’ that corresponds to the notion of auditory stream, a computational model is developed that splits a musical score (symbolic musical data) into different voices. A single ‘voice’ may consist of more than one synchronous notes that are perceived as belonging to the same audito...
متن کاملThe Effect of Visual Cues on Auditory Stream Segregation in Musicians and Non-Musicians
BACKGROUND The ability to separate two interleaved melodies is an important factor in music appreciation. This ability is greatly reduced in people with hearing impairment, contributing to difficulties in music appreciation. The aim of this study was to assess whether visual cues, musical training or musical context could have an effect on this ability, and potentially improve music appreciatio...
