PT Unknown AU Alicia Fornes Anjan Dutta Albert Gordo Josep Llados TI The ICDAR 2011 Music Scores Competition: Staff Removal and Writer Identification BT 11th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition PY 2011 BP 1511 EP 1515 DI 10.1109/ICDAR.2011.300 AB In the last years, there has been a growing interest in the analysis of handwritten music scores. In this sense, our goal has been to foster the interest in the analysis of handwritten music scores by the proposal of two different competitions: Staff removal and Writer Identification. Both competitions have been tested on the CVC-MUSCIMA database: a ground-truth of handwritten music score images. This paper describes the competition details, including the dataset and ground-truth, the evaluation metrics, and a short description of the participants, their methods, and the obtained results. ER
