Musical Key Extraction from Audio Using Profile Training
@inproceedings{Par2006MusicalKE, title={Musical Key Extraction from Audio Using Profile Training}, author={Steven van de Par and Martin F. McKinney and Andr{\'e} Redert}, booktitle={ISMIR}, year={2006} }
A new method is presented for extracting the musical key from raw audio data. The method is based on the extraction of chromagrams using a new approach for tonal component selection taking into account auditory masking. The extracted chromagrams were used to train three key profiles for major and three key profiles for minor keys. The three trained key profiles differ in their temporal weighting of information across the duration of the song. One profile is based on uniform weighting while the…

GLOBAL KEY EXTRACTION FROM CLASSICAL MUSIC AUDIO RECORDINGS BASED ON THE FINAL CHORD
- Computer Science
- 2013
This paper presents a novel approach to global key extraction from audio recordings, restricted to the genre Classical only, that relies on pre-extracted chroma features and puts special emphasis on the final chord of the piece to estimate the tonic note.

This work addresses the problem of local key finding by investigating the possible combination and extension of different previously proposed approaches for global key estimation by introducing key dependency on the harmonic and the metrical structures.
Cover song identification by sequence alignment algorithms
- Computer ScienceInternational Conference on Graphic and Image Processing
- 2011
A method that can be used to effectively identify cover songs is described and the beat/chroma-synchronous chromagram, which is insensitive to the variation of the timber or rhythm of songs but sensitive to the melody, is chosen.
Audio tonality mode classification without tonic annotations
- Computer Science2008 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo
- 2008
An alignment approach to transpose chroma features within each mode to a reference (but unknown) tonic is presented and several methods, including Single Profile Correlation, Multiple Profile Cor correlation and Support Vector Machine are exploited to address mode learning and classification.
Musical Key Estimation with Unsupervised Pattern Recognition
