The usual task in music information retrieval (MIR) is to find occurrences of a monophonic query pattern within a music database, which can contain both monophonic and polyphonic content. The so-called query-by-humming systems are a famous instance of content-based MIR. In such a system, the user's hummed query is converted into symbolic form to pe...

... instance, replacing the first (key) note by G would require the melody to be transposed as follows to sound similar: G-A-B-C- D-E-F#. As can be seen in Figure 3, the interval relationships do not change at all. ...

... θ = |W|, where |W| denotes the number of "on" pixels in the query image, then (5.1) is equivalent to the erosion of X by W. By lowering the value of θ, we can impose looser conditions than erosion on detecting W in X. Our MATLAB implementation follows: C = conv2(A, B, 'same'); % convolute C = C -theta; % apply the threshold figure(3);imshow (C,[] In this and the following examples, we have used an image of the piano-roll representation of the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius' "Finlandia" to represent the database (Fig. 19). The song was loaded into Logic Audio Platinum 10 as a MIDI file, opened in the Matrix Editor (Logic's version of a piano-roll editor) for reviewing, and a screenshot was taken. ...

Detection of circular objects in digital images is an important problem in several vision applications. Circle detection using randomized sampling has been developed in recent years to reduce the computational intensity. Randomized sampling, however, is sensitive to noise that can lead to reduced accuracy and false-positive candidates. This paper p...

Compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging has shown great capability to accelerate data acquisition by exploiting sparsity of images under a certain transform or dictionary. Sparser representations usually lead to lower reconstruction errors, thus enduring efforts have been made to find dictionaries that provide sparser representation of magnet...

We propose a vision-based highway border detection algorithm using structured Hough voting. Our approach takes advantage of the geometric relationship between highway road borders and highway lane markings. It uses a strategy where a number of trained road border and lane marking detectors are triggered, followed by Hough voting to generate corresp...

We are interested in automatic scene understanding from geometric cues. To this end, we aim to bring semantic segmentation in the loop of real-time reconstruction. Our semantic segmentation is built on a deep autoencoder stack trained exclusively on synthetic depth data generated from our novel 3D scene library, SynthCam3D. Importantly, our network...

We propose an Active Learning approach to training a segmentation classifier that exploits geometric priors to streamline the annotation process in 3D image volumes. To this end, we use these priors not only to select voxels most in need of annotation but to guarantee that they lie on 2D planar patch, which makes it much easier to annotate than if...

Mathematical Morphology provides powerful tools for image processing, analysis and understanding. In this paper, we apply these tools to analyze scores, that are image-like representations of Music. To do that, we consider chroma rolls, a representation of scores similar to piano rolls that use chromas instead of pitches. Endowing this representation with a lattice structure, one can define Mathematical Morphology operators, and setting a group structure to the Time-Frequency plane allows us to use the notion of structuring element. We show throughout some examples that this relates with the notion of pitch-class set and chord progressions, and we analyze two Chopin’s Nocturnes with this technique.KeywordsMathematical MorphologyHarmonic analysisTime-frequencyPitch-class setChord progressionChroma roll
