🧐 About

The aim of this project is to develop a sheet music reader. This is called Optical Music Recognition (OMR). Its objective is to convert sheet music to a machine-readable version. We take a simplified version where we convert an image of sheet music to a textual representation that can be further processed to produce midi files or audio files like wav or mp3.
