A new phone level hidden Markov model approach applied to human humming transcription is proposed in this research. A music note has two important attributes, i.e. pitch and duration. The proposed system generates multidimensional humming transcriptions, which contain both pitch and duration information. Query by humming provides a natural means for content-based retrieval from music databases, and this research provides a robust front-end for such an application. The segment of a note in the humming waveform is modeled by phone level hidden Markov models (HMM). The duration of the note segment is then labeled by a duration model. The pitch of the note is modeled by a pitch model using a Gaussian mixture model. Preliminary real-time recognition experiments are carried out with models trained by data obtained from eight human objects, and an overall correct recognition rate of around 84% is demonstrated.
