Prospects for Improving OMR with Multiple Recognizers
نویسندگان
چکیده
OMR (Optical Music Recognition) programs have been available for years, but they still leave much to be desired in terms of accuracy. We studied the feasibility of achieving substantially better accuracy by using the output of several programs to “triangulate” and get better results than any of the individual programs; this multiplerecognizer approach has had some success with other media but, to our knowledge, has never been tried for music. A major obstacle is that the complexity of music notation is such that evaluating OMR accuracy is difficult for any but the simplest music. Nonetheless, existing programs have serious enough limitations that the multiplerecognizer approach is promising.

Using Sequence Alignment and Voting to Improve Optical Music Recognition from Multiple Recognizers
Digitalizing sheet music using Optical Music Recognition (OMR) is error-prone, especially when using noisy images created from scanned prints. Inspired by DNA-sequence alignment, we devise a method to use multiple sequence alignment to automatically compare output from multiple third party OMR tools and perform automatic error-correction of pitch and duration of notes. We perform tests on a cor...
متن کاملTowards Musicdiff: A Foundation for Improved Optical Music Recognition Using Multiple Recognizers
This paper presents work towards a “musicdiff” program for comparing files representing different versions of the same piece, primarily in the context of comparing versions produced by different optical music recognition (OMR) programs. Previous work by the current authors and others strongly suggests that using multiple recognizers will make it possible to improve OMR accuracy substantially. T...
متن کاملImproving Optical Music Recognition by Combining Outputs from Multiple Sources
Current software for Optical Music Recognition (OMR) produces outputs with too many errors that render it an unrealistic option for the production of a large corpus of symbolic music files. In this paper, we propose a system which applies image pre-processing techniques to scans of scores and combines the outputs of different commercial OMR programs when applied to images of different scores of...
متن کاملImage Quality Estimation for Multi-Score OMR
Optical music recognition (OMR) is the recognition of images of musical scores. Recent research has suggested aligning the results of OMR from multiple scores of the same work (multi-score OMR, MS-OMR) to improve accuracy. As a simpler alternative, we have developed features which predict the quality of a given score, allowing us to select the highest-quality score to use for OMR. Furthermore, ...
متن کاملIntegrating Hypotheses of Multiple Recognizers for Improving Mandarin LVCSR Performance
In this paper, we investigate how to improve Mandarin LVCSR performance by integrating multiple hypotheses from recognizers running in parallel. Different recognizers are trained by employing: (1) different phone sets, (2) different front-ends, and (3) different training sets. Nbest hypotheses are merged into a character transition network (CTN) and ROVER is used to select the final recognition...
