— Extracting the main melody from a polyphonic music recording seems natural even to untrained human listeners. To a certain extent it is related to the concept of source separat...
This paper proposes a query by humming method based on locality sensitive hashing (LSH). The method constructs an index of melodic fragments by extracting pitch vectors from a dat...
Melodies provide an important conceptual summarization of polyphonic audio. The extraction of melodic content has practical applications ranging from content-based audio retrieval...
This paper presents a melody spotting system based on Variable Duration Hidden Markov Models (VDHMM’s), capable of locating monophonic melodies in a database of raw audio record...
We propose a new approach for singer melody extraction, based on blind source separation techniques. The short time Fourier transform (STFT) of the singer signal is modelled by a ...
