Abstract

This paper describes the design method of a WWW-based melody-retrieval system which takes a sung melody as a search clue and retrieves the music title from a music database of standard MIDI files(SMF) over the Internet. The most important thing in building a melody-retrieval system on the Internet is to achieve both high matching accuracy and quick search. It was, however, quite difficult to simultaneously fulfill these two conditions since it took long time for the matching process. We propose the design of a system which consists of parallelized melody-retrieval servers for building a high performance service on the Internet.
