A Watermarking Algorithm for Embedding of MIDI Information in the Digital Music Score

A blind watermarking algorithm for the embedding of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) information into the binary music score image based on the OMR (Optical Music Recognition) technology is presented in this paper, and the information of digital music score and MIDI can be reconstructed. The experiment results show that the algorithm has no effect to the precision of music score recognition, and will be available to the integrity auditing and the synchronized transmit of digital music score and its MIDI information.
