A New Spectral-based Approach to Query-by-Humming for MP3 Songs Database
Authors: Leon Fu, Xiangyang Xue
Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a new approach to query-by-humming, focusing on MP3 songs database. Since MP3 songs are much more difficult in melody representation than symbolic performance data, we adopt to extract feature descriptors from the vocal sounds part of the songs. Our approach is based on signal filtering, sub-band spectral processing, MDCT coefficients analysis and peak energy detection by ignorance of the background music as much as possible. Finally, we apply dual dynamic programming algorithm for feature similarity matching. Experiments will show us its online performance in precision and efficiency.Digital Object Identifier (DOI): doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1327692
