Tararira
is a query by singing system. The problem of music
retrieval by sung query (QBH, query by humming) consist of building a machine capable of
simulating the cognitive process of identifying a musical piece
from a few sung notes of its melody.
A melody is described by a sequence of notes, so it is natural
to compare melodies by means of the similarity of their
constituent notes. For this reason, the problem can be divided
in two stages: the transcription of the voice signal into a
sequence of notes and the search of this pattern in a MIDI melody database.
Tararira originates in July 2004 as the graduation project of Ernesto López,
Martín Rocamora and Gonzalo Sosa at the IIE of the Facultad de
Ingeniería, Universidad de la República. |
