An Optical Music Recognition Tool for String Quartets
Abstract
This paper presents an optical music recognition (OMR) system tailored for PDF scores of string quartet pieces. The approach begins with a SegNet-based segmentation model to localize musical regions, followed by convolutional neural networks and image processing techniques to classify and extract musical symbols. To improve rhythmic precision, dynamic programming methods enforce time signature constraints and explicitly handle tuplets. Evaluation using a longest common subsequence metric across multiple feature matrices demonstrates robust accuracy in recognizing pitch, onset, duration, and accidentals on a benchmark dataset. Code and data are available at https://github.com/lattellie/25-omr.
