An Efficient Staff Removal Approach from Printed Musical Documents
Staff removal is an important preprocessing step of the Optical Music Recognition (OMR). The process aims to remove the stafflines from a musical document and retain only the musical symbols, later these symbols are used effectively to identify the music information. This paper proposes a simple but robust method to remove stafflines from printed musical scores. In the proposed methodology we have considered a staffline segment as a horizontal linkage of vertical black runs with uniform height. We have used the neighbouring properties of a staffline segment to validate it as a true segment. We have considered the dataset along with the deformations described in [8] for evaluation purpose. From experimentation we have got encouraging results. Keywords-OMR; musical scores; staffline; staffline segments; staffline height; staffspace height; staff removal;
