Estimation of musical sound separation algorithm effectiveness employing neural networks.
PublicationŚlepa separacja dźwięków sygnałów muzycznych zawartych w zmiksowanym materiale jest trudnym zadaniem. Jest to spowodowane tym, że dźwięki znajdujące się w relacjach harmonicznych mogą zawierać kolidujące składowe sinusoidalne (składowe harmoniczne). Ewaluacja wyników separacji jest również problematyczna, gdyż analiza błędu energetycznego często nie odzwierciedla subiektywnej jakości odseparowanych sygnałów. W tej publikacji zostały...
