Introduction

Optical score recognition (OMR) provides an intelligent and efficient way for paper score digitalization, which can be widely used in the field of assisting music teaching, music search, music secondary creation, and so on. we propose a transformer-based approach with excellent global perceptual capability for end-to-end polyphonic OMR, called TrOMR. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TrOMR outperforms current OMR methods, especially in real-world scenarios.

Dataset

The images in MSD are electronic sheet music with clear symbols. The images in CMSD-P are printed and photographed and the symbols are rather blurred and the lines are jagged. The images in CMSD-S, taken on a screen, are slightly blurred and have a lot of moiré. Meanwhile, the effects of light and jitter are also simulated. These operations make our data very close to the real application scenarios.

Experiment

To facilitate direct comparison, the results of the model were visualized and the error was marked in the red box. It can be seen that TrOMR has higher recognition accuracy than baseline in areas with dense symbols and in areas further away from the staff.

Preparation

  pip install -r requirements.txt
