Melody extraction in noisy Musicof different genre

Abstract

In this paper, we have studied and analyzed the performance of melody extraction algorithm for different genre of music especially in noisy environment. The algorithm based salience function and pitch contour characteristics is used for extracting the melody. The parameter Frequency Estimation Error (FEE) is taken for evaluating the performance of melody extraction algorithm. Also, their performance is evaluated for various musical genres such as JAZZ, MIDI, POP and OPERA MALE for comparison purpose. We have also shown how final melodicline in polyphonic mixture for different SNR values will look like in case of different musical genre.
