MELODIC DESCRIPTION OF AUDIO SIGNALS FOR MUSIC CONTENT PROCESSING
Emilia Gómez Gutiérrez · 2002
This report is organized in the following way. In chapter 2, the review of the different melodic representations in the literature drives us to define different aspects of melodic description. In chapter 3, we describe the recurrent techniques used to extract this melodic description: from pitch detection to a MIDI-like representation, and toward a multi-level melodic description. Chapter 4 shows the different application contexts in which melodic analysis and representation is used. In chapter 5, we explain the work that is currently being carried out on the development of some of these techniques. Finally, both the objectives of the future research and the guiding principles to carry it out are explained, which at the same time, work as the conclusion of this research work
