Music panel: An application for creating and editing music using OpenCV and JFugue

Music is the product of human creativity and the mastery of musical instruments. There are a large number of musical instruments, whether electric, acoustic, wind or percussion. Some areas of research explore the creation of music through the human-computer interaction. This paper proposes a way to generate sounds with the help of a wall-installed panel with notes drawn on it. The notes are recognized with a webcam and computer vision algorithms, and then played back to the user in real time. The application was created with the aim of giving people who want to express their creativity through music, the chance to do so without the need for musical instruments, in a simple and novel way.
