Sheet Music Reader
The goal of this project was to design an image processing algorithm that scans in sheet music and plays the music described on the page. Our algorithm takes a digital image of sheet music and segments it by line. For each line, it detects the note types and locations, and computes the frequency and duration. These frequency and duration pairs are stored in a matrix and fed into the audio synthesizer, which plays back the music. For simple and non-noisy input images, the audio output for this algorithm was recognizable and played the pitches accurately, excluding the presence of accidentals.
