Computer Assisted Chord Detection Using Deep Learning and YOLOV4 Neural Network Model

Abstract

Music symbol recognition is an important part of Optical Music Recognition (OMR), Chord recognition is one of the most important research contents in the field of music information retrieval. It plays an important role in information processing, music structure analysis, and recommendation systems. Aiming at the problem of low chord recognition accuracy in the OMR recognition model, the article proposes a chord recognition method based on the YOLOV4 neural network model. First, the YOLOV4 network model is used to train single-voice scores to obtain the best training model. Then, the scores containing chords are trained through neural network fine-tuning technology. The experimental results show that the method recognizes the chords with great results, the model was tested on the test set generated by MuseScore. The experimental results show that the accuracy of note recognition is high, which can reach the accuracy of duration value of 0.96 which is higher than the accuracy of note recognition of other score recognition models.
