Song Wave Retrieval Based on Frame-Wise Phoneme Recognition

We propose a song wave retrieval method. Both song wave data and a query wave for song wave data are transformed into phoneme sequences by frame-wise labeling of each frame feature. By applying a search algorithm, called Continuous Dynamic Programming (CDP), to these phoneme sequences, we can detect a set of similar parts in a song database, each of which is similar to a query song wave. Song retrieval rates hit 78% in four clauses from whole databases. Differences in each query from song wave data and speech wave data is investigated.
