چکیده

We present a new method to segment popular music based on rhythm. By computing a shortest path based on the self-similarity matrix calculated from a model of rhythm, segmenting boundaries are found along the diagonal of the matrix. The cost of a new segment is optimized by matching manual and automatic segment boundaries. We compile a small song database of 21 randomly selected popular Chinese songs which come from Chinese Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The segmenting results on the small corpus show that 78% manual segmentation points are detected and 74% automatic segmentation points are correct. Automatic segmentation achieved 100% correct detection for 5 songs. The results are very encouraging.

In this paper, we study rhythm based music segmentation in which the frame size varies in proportion to inter-beat interval of the music, in contrast to fixed length segmentation (FIX) in spoken language recognition. We show that acoustic feature extracted from the BSS scheme outperforms that from FIX. ...
