Structural Segmentation and Visualization of Sitar and Sarod Concert Audio
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hindustani classical instrumental concerts follow an episodic development that, musicologically, is described via changes in the rhythmic structure. Uncovering this structure in a musically relevant form can provide for powerful visual representations of the concert audio that is of potential value in music appreciation and pedagogy. We investigate the structural analysis of the metered section (gat) of concerts of two plucked string instruments, the sitar and sarod. A prominent aspect of the gat is the interplay between the melody soloist and the accompanying drummer (tabla). The tempo as provided by the tabla together with the rhythmic density of the sitar/sarod plucks serve as the main dimensions that predict the transition between concert sections. We present methods to access the stream of tabla onsets separately from the sitar/sarod onsets, addressing challenges that arise in the instrument separation. Further, the robust detection of tempo and the estimation of rhythmic density of sitar/sarod plucks are discussed. A case study of a fully annotated concert is presented, and is followed by results of achieved segmentation accuracy on a database of sitar and sarod gats across artists.

Structural segmentation of concert audio recordings is very useful in music navigation and automatic summarization. It is particularly strongly indicated for Indian classical music where concerts can extend for hours, and commercial audio recordings rarely provide timing details of the various sections, although the performance typically follows an established structure depending on the genre. ...

متن کاملAutomatic Set List Identification and Song Segmentation for Full-Length Concert Videos
Recently, plenty of full-length concert videos have become available on video-sharing websites such as YouTube. As each video generally contains multiple songs, natural questions that arise include “what is the set list?” and “when does each song begin and end?” Indeed, many full concert videos on YouTube contain song lists and timecodes contributed by uploaders and viewers. However, newly uplo...
متن کاملSegmentation Assisted Object Distinction for Direct Volume Rendering
Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...
