Optical Music Recognition: the Case Study of Pattern Recognition

The paper presents a pattern recognition study aimed on music notation recognition. The study is focused on practical aspect of optical music recognition; it presents a variety of methods applied in optical music recognition technology. The following logically separated stages of music notation recognition are distinguished: acquiring music notation structure, recognizing symbols of music notation, analyzing contextual information. The directions for OMR package development are drawn.
