Accomplishments this week 1. Robust Web Application Construction Since our last demo meeting, we get advice from the professor and TA that we should consider the user experience of our customers and make the web application able to handle possible edge cases so that it does not crash. Firstly, I Read more…
Significant risks for the project we managed this week: Integration between the MIDI tracker program and the Django web application: Restful APIs/TCP channel setup/Database model design/Ajax calls We handle the pre-population of database because of the absence of the actual Raspberry pi hardware that should be communicating with our web Read more…
Accomplishments this week 1. Prepopulation of Web Application Database Our web application was designed to make connections with available pageFlipper hardware first, then ask the users to upload sheet music. Since now it’s not possible to connect with the actual pageFlipper hardware hosted on Raspberry pi, we need to repopulate Read more…
Significant risks for the project we managed this week: The difficulty of performing the advanced MIDI matching algorithm on complex sheet music Although testing of the advanced MIDI matching algorithm went well last week with the file Piano_Man_Easy, when we tried to test the advanced MIDI pattern-matching algorithm on another Read more…
Accomplishments this week 1. Advanced MIDI pattern matching tested live. Last week I tested the advanced MIDI pattern matching algorithm with live MIDI input on this Piano_Man_Easy.mid. The testing went through very well. The sheet music of Paino_Man_Easy is attached: Piano_Man_Easy. However, it does not mean that the matching algorithm works Read more…
Significant risks for the project we managed this week: Major Schedule Change Because of COVID-19：necessary integration between the hardware and the software parts are now hard to perform; thus, we decide to split the hardware and software parts and demo the functionalities of them individually. The communication between the hardware Read more…
Accomplishments this week 1. Advanced MIDI pattern matching tested live. After finishing the advanced MIDI pattern matching algorithm last week, I moved on to testing the algorithm with live MIDI input instead of pseudo test files. I used the MIDI module of Pygame for reading in the MIDI input notes. Read more…
Accomplishments this week 1. Advanced MIDI pattern matching is done!! After trying out the Levenshtein distance method as mentioned last week, I found that the melody extraction part (illustrated in the image below) will introduce more bias to the original midi slice. Since our target is not to find slices Read more…
Significant risks for the project we managed this week: This week we finally get the Advanced MIDI pattern matching done!! It’s working on test cases we created virtually, and we are going to test the algorithm, and move on with live MIDI pattern matching design next week (after Spring Break). After Read more…
Significant risks for the project we managed this week: It’s almost certain that the originally proposed Bag-of-Words algorithm does not work well on the advanced midi matching task, and we are moving on to another approach that focuses more on the melody of the midi input, instead of the number Read more…
