Abstract

The goal of this bachelor's thesis is to analyse existing algorithms and methods for musical feature extraction, implement the most appropriate algorithm and test it against the given test data. Implemented algorithm could then be used for simple melody transcription of sung Slovenian folk songs, if the results would have shown to be promising. After literature review, YIN algorithm was chosen for pitch detection. Segmentation was performed by a library of implemented algorithms called MIRToolbox and estimated values were post-processed with a simple probabilistic model, based on the KernScores library. The final product was fitted with a user interface that enables users to choose a recording they wish to analyse and displays the results when the algorithm is finished. A user can then listen to the recording and simultaneously track its position on a graph.
