An online handwritten recognition system of music score

In this paper, we present an online handwritten system for music score recognition. Music score is used to record a music song. People often used to compose a music score on the sheet of paper. In our system, we propose the pen based writing method and use multi-strokes to form a music notation. We extract the height, shape and direction from a stroke as the features and recognize it as a symbol. Then the symbol is combined with other symbols to form a music notation. The system is robust for a general use and supports enough music notations for composition. The recognition rate is 98.35%.
