Projection based Segmentation of Musical Sheets

The automatic recognition of music scores is a key process for the electronic treatment of music information. In this paper, we present the segmentation module of an OMR system. The proposed approach is based on the use of projection profiles for the location of elementary symbols that constitute the music notation. An extensive experimentation was made with the help of a tool developed to this purpose. Reported results shown a high efficiency in the correct location of elementary symbols.
