CoverSongSimilarity

Inputs

• inputArray (vector_vector_real) - a 2D binary cross-similarity matrix between two audio chroma vectors (query vs reference song) (refer 'ChromaCrossSimilarity' algorithm').

Outputs

• scoreMatrix (vector_vector_real) - a 2D smith-waterman alignment score matrix from the input binary cross-similarity matrix
• distance (real) - cover song similarity distance between the query and reference song from the input similarity matrix. Either 'asymmetric' (as described in [2]) or 'symmetric' (maximum score in the alignment score matrix).

Parameters

• alignmentType (string ∈ {serra09, chen17}, default = serra09) :

  choose either one of the given local-alignment constraints for smith-waterman algorithm as described in [2] or [3] respectively.

• disExtension (real ∈ [0, ∞), default = 0.5) :

  penalty for disruption extension

• disOnset (real ∈ [0, ∞), default = 0.5) :

  penalty for disruption onset

• distanceType (string ∈ {asymmetric, symmetric}, default = asymmetric) :

  choose the type of distance. By default the algorithm outputs a asymmetric distance which is obtained by normalising the maximum score in the alignment score matrix with length of reference song

Description

This algorithm computes a cover song similiarity measure from a binary cross similarity matrix input between two chroma vectors of a query and reference song using various alignment constraints of smith-waterman local-alignment algorithm.

This algorithm expects to recieve the binary similarity matrix input from essentia 'ChromaCrossSimilarity' algorithm or essentia 'CrossSimilarityMatrix' with parameter 'binarize=True'.

The algorithm provides two different allignment contraints for computing the smith-waterman score matrix (check references).

Exceptions are thrown if the input similarity matrix is not binary or empty.
