  • Towards a Standard Testbed for Optical Music Recognition: Definitions, Metrics, and Page Images
    Towards a Standard Testbed for Optical Music Recognition: Definitions, Metrics, and Page Images Donald Byrd, Indiana University Bloomington and Jakob Grue Simonsen, University of Copenhagen Early March 2013 Abstract We believe that progress in Optical Music Recognition (OMR) has been held up for years by the absence of anything like the standard testbeds in use in other fields that face difficult evaluation problems. One example of such a field is text IR, where the TREC conference has annually-renewed IR tasks with accompanying data sets. In music informatics, MIREX, with its annual tests and meetings held during the ISMIR conference, is an almost exact analog to TREC; but MIREX has never had an OMR track or a collection of music such a track could employ. We describe why the absence of an OMR testbed is a problem and how this problem may be mitigated or solved outright. To aid in the establishment of a standard testbed, we devise performance metrics for OMR tools that take into account score complexity and graphic quality. Finally, we provide a small corpus of music for use as a miniature baseline for a proper OMR testbed. The Problem and The Solution What is the most accurate Optical Music Recognition (henceforth OMR) system available? A perfectly good answer is “No one knows, and there’s no practical way to find out”. But— considering the enormous variability of music notation—it is unreasonable to expect an answer to such a general question; a more helpful answer would be “It depends”. Consider this question instead: What’s the most accurate OMR system available for a specific kind of music and publication, in digitized page images with given quality? That certainly seems like a reasonable question, but the answer is still “No one knows, and there’s no practical way to find out”.
