This week I focused on integrating the software and hardware components of the system and stabilizing the end-to-end pipeline. The main effort involved connecting the playback and visualization software to the hardware layer, debugging integration issues, and resolving errors encountered during real-world execution. In parallel, I worked on fully integrating the OMR pipeline with the conversion layer and began addressing a Java-side error affecting OMR processing.
Software and Hardware Integration
- Integrated the playback and visualization software with the hardware layer to enable end-to-end system execution.
- Verified that processed musical events are correctly transmitted to the hardware during playback.
- Encountered intermittent failures and runtime errors during integration, primarily due to timing, data formatting, and interface mismatches.
Spent time debugging and resolving these issues to improve system stability and reliability. - Continued iterative testing to ensure that software-hardware communication behaves consistently during playback.
OMR and Conversion Layer Integration
- Fully integrated the OMR pipeline with the conversion layer, enabling direct flow from sheet music input to processed musical events.
- Verified that OMR outputs are correctly parsed and transformed into the system’s internal event representation.
- Encountered a Java-related error within the OMR pipeline that affects certain inputs.
- Began debugging the Java error and investigating its root cause to restore reliable OMR processing.
Schedule
I am currently on schedule. While integration exposed several failures and errors, this work is expected at this stage and is helping stabilize the system. Progress continues toward a fully integrated end-to-end pipeline.
Deliverables for Next Week
- Resolve remaining software-hardware integration errors and improve system robustness.
- Fix the Java error in the OMR pipeline and verify reliable sheet music processing.
- Continue end-to-end testing from OMR input through playback and visualization.
- Begin performance and stability testing under different tempos and input conditions.
