PT Journal AU Arnau Baro Pau Riba Jorge Calvo-Zaragoza Alicia Fornes TI From Optical Music Recognition to Handwritten Music Recognition: a Baseline SO Pattern Recognition Letters JI PRL PY 2019 BP 1 EP 8 VL 123 AB Optical Music Recognition (OMR) is the branch of document image analysis that aims to convert images of musical scores into a computer-readable format. Despite decades of research, the recognition of handwritten music scores, concretely the Western notation, is still an open problem, and the few existing works only focus on a specific stage of OMR. In this work, we propose a full Handwritten Music Recognition (HMR) system based on Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks, data augmentation and transfer learning, that can serve as a baseline for the research community.
