Staff-line removal with selectional auto-encoders

作者:

Highlights:

• Staff-line removal is an important preprocessing stage in Optical Music Recognition.

• We consider a machine learning approach, in contrast to image processing techniques.

• Our proposal involves a new type of convolutional auto-encoder.

• The model is trained to remove the lines of the staves patch by patch.

• Our results significantly outperforms the other state-of-art strategies considered.
