Converting images into audio (MIDI/AVI)

I'm doing project in music OCR i.e. converting sheet music into its corresponding audio format (MIDI or AVI). Is it possible to do this project in MATLAB? If yes then which MATLAB product and version should I use?

Hi Shradda,

This is possible with MATLAB however there is no quick solution.

You can use the Image processing toolbox for character recognition. If you are not familiar with using MATLAB for OCR, Steve Eddins blog is a good resource : http://blogs.mathworks.com/steve/

Once you get the OCR part down, you could use functions such as AUWRITE or WAVEWRITE

Hope that helps.

Shradda says: "It is really helpful at this moment,because It is very necessary that committee which selects our project topics, must get convinced with our project topic i.e. music OCR.We need to tell them about scope,application of project and probability of project be successful.so we need to attach some references with our form and I think the links you have provided are really very helpful.I am not at all familiar with MATLAB but I will have to use it for my project.So from where I should start studying it?I mean my project is in Image processing area(OCR) so what should I learn?and Thank You very much for the help. -shraddha"
