MIREX 2012: MULTI FEATURE BEAT TRACKER (ZDG1 AND ZDG2)

The Multi-feature Beat tracker uses 5 different onsets detection function to estimates the beats of a musical audio signal using only one beat tracker algorithm, finally the beat tracker output is selected using a committee technique presented in previous works. The algorithm ZDG2 get the higher value in five of the ten measures in the Mckinney Dataset in 2012 and the higher AMLt and AMLc values in all the years in the Beat tracking task in the same dataset.
