Abstract

In this paper an algorithm for music staves detection is presented. The algorithm bases on horizontal projections in local windows of a score image and farther processing of resulting histograms and their connections. Experiments carried out, proved high efficiency of presented algorithm and its robustness in case of non-ideal staff lines: skew and with barrel and pincushion distortions. The algorithm allows for usage of acquisition devices alternative to scanner such as digital cameras.
