An approach to melodic segmentation and classification based on filtering with the Haar wavelet [PDF]
We present a novel method of classification and segmentation of melodies in symbolic representation. The method is based on filtering pitch as a signal over time with the Haar-wavelet, and we evaluate it on two tasks. The filtered signal corresponds to a
