Optical Music Recognition: the Case Study of Pattern Recognition

  • Conference paper
Computer Recognition Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 30))

Abstract

The paper presents a pattern recognition study aimed on music notation recognition. The study is focused on practical aspect of optical music recognition; it presents a variety of methods applied in optical music recognition technology. The following logically separated stages of music notation recognition are distinguished: acquiring music notation structure, recognizing symbols of music notation, analyzing contextual information. The directions for OMR package development are drawn.
