[Lrde Annonce] Publication: A Morphological Method for Music Score Staff Removal (ICIP'14)

We are pleased to announce that the following paper has been accepted to the 21st International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP'14). A Morphological Method for Music Score Staff Removal Thierry Géraud EPITA Research and Development Laboratory (LRDE) thierry.geraud(a)lrde.epita.fr Removing the staff in music score images is a key to improve the recognition of music symbols and, with ancient and degraded handwritten music scores, it is not a straightforward task. In this paper we present the method that has won in 2013 the staff removal competition, organized at the International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR). The main characteristics of this method is that it essentially relies on mathematical morphology filtering. So it is simple, fast, and its full source code is provided to favor reproducible research.
