A quantitative comparison of different approaches for melody extraction from polyphonic audio recordings. 2006. 31 p.http://hdl.handle.net/10230/41912This paper provides an overview of current state-of-the-art approaches for melody extraction from polyphonic audio recordings, and it proposes a methodology for the quantitative evaluation of melody extraction algorithms. We first define a general architecture for melody extraction systems and discuss the difficulties of the problem in hand; then, we review different approaches for melody extraction which represent the current state-of-the-art in this area. We propose and discuss a methodology for evaluating the different approaches, and we finally present some results and conclusions of the comparison.application/pdfengThis work is licenced under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5info:eu-repo/semantics/articleMelody ExtractionMusic Information RetrievalEvaluationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
