Multi-modal Conditional Bounding Box Regression for Music Score Following

This paper addresses the problem of sheet-image-based on-line audio-to-score alignment also known as score following. Drawing inspiration from object detection, a conditional neural network architecture is proposed that directly predicts x,y coordinates of the matching positions in a complete score sheet image at each point in time for a given musical performance. Experiments are conducted on a synthetic polyphonic piano benchmark dataset and the new method is compared to several existing approaches from the literature for sheet-image-based score following as well as an Optical Music Recognition baseline. The proposed approach achieves new state-of-the-art results and furthermore significantly improves the alignment performance on a set of real-world piano recordings by applying Impulse Responses as a data augmentation technique.
