Abstract

This demo presents a 16-bit microcontroller implementation of a content-based music retrieval system that can take a user's acoustic input (5-second clip of singing or humming) and then retrieve the intended song from 20 candidate songs. Performance evaluation based on 192 clips shows that the system has a satisfactory top-1 recognition rate of 92%. This system demonstrates the feasibility of microcontroller based melody recognition for music retrieval, which can be used in consumer electronics such as melody-activated interactive toys, query engines for MP3 players or karaoke machines, and so on.
