Chroma-based audio features, which closely correlate to the aspect of harmony, are a well-established tool in processing and analyzing music data. There are many ways of computing and enhancing chroma features, which results in a large number of chroma variants with different properties. In this paper, we present a chroma toolbox [13], which contains MATLAB implementations for extracting various types of recently proposed pitch-based and chroma-based audio features. Providing the MATLAB…

Audio thumbnailing of popular music using chroma-based representations
TLDR
This work presents a system for producing short, representative samples (or "audio thumbnails") of selections of popular music, and presents a development of the chromagram, a variation on traditional time-frequency distributions that seeks to represent the cyclic attribute of pitch perception, known as chroma.
A comparative study of tonal acoustic features for a symbolic level music-to-score alignment
TLDR
This paper confirms that chroma vectors drawn from representations using a logarithmic frequency scale are the most efficient features, and lead to a good precision, even with a simple alignment strategy, and shows that the relative performance of the features do not depend on possible musical score degradations.

This doctoral dissertation proposes and evaluates a computational approach for the automatic description of tonal aspects of music from the analysis of polyphonic audio signals that contributes to bridge the gap between audio and symbolic-oriented methods without the need of a perfect transcription.
Efficient Index-Based Audio Matching
TLDR
The combination of various deformation- and fault-tolerance mechanisms allows us to employ standard indexing techniques to obtain an efficient, index-based matching procedure, thus providing an important step towards semantically searching large-scale real-world music collections.
