This paper introduces scale transforms to measure rhythmic similarity between two musical pieces. The rhythm of a piece of music is described by the scale transform magnitude, com...
— As a special case of the Mellin transform, the scale transform has been applied in various signal processing areas, in order to get a signal description that is invariant to sc...
Query-by-tapping systems are content-based music retrieval systems that allow users to tap or clap in a microphone the rhythmic pattern of the melody requested. In this paper, a n...
We propose a method of music melody matching based on their “continuous” (or “time-frame-based”) pitch contours. Most previous methods using frame-based contours either ma...
When considering the problem of audio-to-audio matching, determining musical similarity using low-level features such as Fourier transforms and MFCCs is an extremely difficult ta...
