Abstract

This paper provides an overview of current state-of-the-art
approaches for melody extraction from polyphonic audio recordings, and it
proposes a methodology for the quantitative evaluation of melody
extraction algorithms. We first define a general architecture for melody
extraction systems and discuss the difficulties of the problem in hand; then,
we review different approaches for melody extraction which represent the
current state-of-the-art in this area. We propose and discuss a methodology
for evaluating the different approaches, and we finally present some results
and conclusions of the comparison.
