-The Cepstral Pitch Tracker Vamp Plugin is an open source Vamp plugin
-library that implements a monophonic pitch tracking and note
-segmentation method that can be used to track melodic pitch in
-accompanied vocal music.
-
-This plugin library is available online as a free, open source
-download from the Centre for Digital Music at Queen Mary, University
-of London. It was initially developed as an illustration of the use of
-unit testing in development of audio research algorithms.
-
-It is not expected to provide performance at all comparable with
-state-of-the-art. However, we are preparing and submitting it to MIREX
-evaluation as part of a programme of evaluation of Vamp plugin
-implementations of published or publicly available algorithms being
-carried out at the Centre for Digital Music.

-\section{Introduction}\label{sec:introduction}
-
-The Vamp plugin format\footnote{http://vamp-plugins.org/} was
-developed at the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) at Queen Mary,
-University of London, during 2005-2006 and published as an open
-specification, alongside the Sonic
-Visualiser~\cite{sonicvisualise2010} audio analysis application, in
-response to a desire to publish algorithms developed at the Centre in
-a form in which they could be immediately useful to people outside
-this research field.
-
-In subsequent years the Vamp plugin format has become a moderately
-popular means of distributing methods from the Centre and other
-research groups. Some dozens of Vamp plugins are now available from
-groups such as the MTG at UPF in Barcelona, the SMC at INESC in Porto,

-The Cepstral Pitch Tracker Vamp Plugin is a freely-available, open

-\section{Method}\label{sec:method}
-
-The method is that described in the one-page handout ``Unit Testing:
-An audio research example'' accompanying our tutorial at DAFx
-2012\cite{chris2012a}. It is an agent system consisting of five
-components:
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Short-time Fourier transform;
-\item Transform to cepstral domain, as the inverse FFT of the log
-  magnitude spectrum;
-\item Peak finder and interpolator;
-\item Agent that takes a series of pitch peaks and tests to see if they form a plausible note;
-\item Agent-management system that supplies the pitches to agents;
-  creates a new agent when a novel pitch is found and reaps any agents
-  that expire without finding a plausible note; accumulates a list of
-  valid notes; and discards failures.
-\end{enumerate}

-\section{Introduction}\label{sec:introduction}
-
-The Vamp plugin format\footnote{http://vamp-plugins.org/} was
-developed at the Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) at Queen Mary,
-University of London, during 2005-2006 and published as an open
-specification, alongside the Sonic
-Visualiser~\cite{sonicvisualise2010} audio analysis application, in
-response to a desire to publish algorithms developed at the Centre in
-a form in which they could be immediately useful to people outside
-this research field.
-
-In subsequent years the Vamp plugin format has become a moderately
-popular means of distributing methods from the Centre and other
-research groups. Some dozens of Vamp plugins are now available from
-groups such as the MTG at UPF in Barcelona, the SMC at INESC in Porto,
-the BBC, and others as well as from the Centre for Digital Music.
-
-The Chordino plugin was developed following Mauch's 2010 work on chord
-extraction as submitted to MIREX in that
-year\cite{mauch:md1:2010}. While that submission used a C++ chroma
-implementation with a MATLAB dynamic Bayesian network as a chord
-extraction front-end\cite{matthias2010a}, Chordino is an entirely C++
-implementation that was developed specifically to be made freely
-available as an open-source plugin for general use.
-
-The Segmentino plugin is a new C++ implementation of a segmentation
-method first described in Mauch's paper on using musical structure to
-enhance chord transcription\cite{matthias2009a} and expanded on in
-Mauch's PhD thesis\cite{matthiasphd}, that is currently being prepared
-for public release.
-
-We are preparing and submitting these plugins as part of a programme
-of evaluation of Vamp plugin implementations of existing algorithms
-being carried out at the Centre for Digital Music.
-
-(For a complete overview of this submission across all of the tasks and
-plugins it covers, please see the relevant repository at the
-SoundSoftware
-site\footnote{http://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/mirex2013}.)
-
-\section{Audio Chord Extraction}
-
-The method for the Chordino plugin has two parts:
-
-\subsection{NNLS Chroma}
-
-NNLS Chroma analyses a single channel of audio using frame-wise
-spectral input from the Vamp host. The spectrum is transformed to a
-log-frequency spectrum (constant-Q) with three bins per semitone. On
-this representation, two processing steps are performed: tuning, after
-which each centre bin (i.e. bin 2, 5, 8, …) corresponds to a semitone,
-even if the tuning of the piece deviates from 440 Hz standard pitch;
-and running standardisation: subtraction of the running mean, division
-by the running standard deviation. This has a spectral whitening
-effect.
-
-The processed log-frequency spectrum is then used as an input for NNLS
-approximate transcription using a dictionary of harmonic notes with
-geometrically decaying harmonics magnitudes. The output of the NNLS
-approximate transcription is semitone-spaced. To get the chroma, this
-semitone spectrum is multiplied (element-wise) with the desired
-profile (chroma or bass chroma) and then mapped to 12 bins.
-
-\subsection{Chord transcription}
-
-A fixed dictionary of chord profiles is used to calculate frame-wise
-chord similarities. A standard HMM/Viterbi approach is used to smooth
-these to provide a chord transcription.
-
-\section{Structural Segmentation}
-
-A beat-quantised chroma representation is used to calculate pair-wise
-similarities between beats (really: beat "shingles", i.e. multi-beat
-vectors). Based on this first similarity calculation, an exhaustive
-comparison of all possible segments of reasonable length in beats is
-executed, and segments are added to form segment families if they are
-sufficiently similar to another "family member". Having accumulated a
-lot of families, the families are rated, and the one with the highest
-score is used as the first segmentation group that gets
-annotated. This last step is repeated until no more families fit the
-remaining "holes" in the song that haven't already been assigned to a
-segment.
-
-This method was developed for "classic rock" music, and therefore
-assumes a few characteristics that are not necessarily found in other
-music: repetition of harmonic sequences in the music that coincide
-with structural segments in a song; a steady beat; segments of a
-certain length; corresponding segments have the same length in
-beats.
