Abstract

This work treats the estimation of the chromagram for harmonic audio signals using a block sparse reconstruction framework. Chroma has been used for decades as a key tool in audio analysis, and is typically formed using a Fourier-based framework that maps the fundamental frequency of a musical tone to its corresponding chroma. Such an approach often leads to problems with tone ambiguity, which we avoid by taking into account the harmonic structure and perceptional attributes in music. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using real audio files, clearly showing preferable performance as compared to other commonly used methods.
