Fingering is an important aspect of piano performance because it affects a pianist's musicality.If audience members, especially pianists, shared the real-time fingering of the performer in a concert, they would feel a sense of togetherness, and this could help them in learning techniques of professional piano performance.To realize such a possibility, the goal of our study is to construct a real-time fingering detection system for piano performance.Our system achieves real-time fingering detection by integrating a simple camerabased image-detection method and musical rules.We have developed a prototype system and evaluated in effectiveness by actual use.
