چکیده

Roughly speaking, music can be easily and cheaply accessed via Internet, but at the same time, finding certain music is still a difficult task. In this paper, a music retrieval system based on frequency descriptors is presented. The work flow of proposed system passes through two main phases: (i) the enrollment phase and (ii) the retrieval phase. In both phases, two models are presented (i.e., preprocessing and feature extraction module). Transformation is an important stage in audio processing application; it is applied to convert the audio signal from time domain to frequency domain. Two types of frequency transformation have been used in this work: (i) Fourier and (ii) discrete cosine transform (DCT). The proposed method implies the application of several processing stages on the input melody files; these stages are considered as parts of the preparation operation. The task of music features extraction for retrieval purpose is a challenging problem. An optimization algorithm is developed to determine the proper threshold value that can filter-in a set of the most energetic and frequent frequencies existing in the spectra, such that their number should be sufficient. This set of frequencies is used to establish the discriminating features, called hit count array.In the enrollment phase, the extracted hit count array is stored in the system database as a template to be used in the retrieval process phase. Euclidean and City Block similarity metrics have been used to make a decision in the retrieval stage. For performance evaluate, several performance measures (like, sensitivity, specificity, recall, precision, accuracy) have been used. The system was tested using a dataset consists of 50 audio files; each has the specifications (11025 sampling rate, 8-bit resolution and mono channel). The length of taken Melodies is about one minute; they saved in a database. Each melody sample is partitioned into 30 frames; each frame is about two seconds. The achieved retrieval results indicated high recognition rate (99.45%) when using the input query length equal to 35 seconds.

Effectiveness of Note Duration Information for Music Retrieval

Content-based music information retrieval uses features extracted from music to answer queries. For melodic queries, the two main features are the pitch and duration of notes. The note pitch feature has been well researched whereas duration has not been fully explored. In this paper, we discuss how the note duration feature can be used to alter music retrieval effectiveness. Notes are represent...
