Matrix-based classifiers applied to recognition of musical notation symbols

Abstract

The paper presents the application of matrix-based classifiers to the problem of automatic recognition of musical notation symbols. The idea of classification algorithms operating on matrices instead of feature vectors is briefly introduced together with a short description of methods that we have recently proposed. The experiments that we report show that the matrix-based approach can be used to improve the effectiveness and usefulness of the OMR system developed in our department as a part of the digital library of musical documents.
