Title:

    A visual beat detection system for grid-based interactive percussion and synchronization

Abstract:


    This document introduces a conceptually novel, simple and ordinarily robust computer-vision-based method of extracting musical beats from regular physical gestures of a performer, implemented in VisiBeat: a grid-based percussion system on the Max/MSP/Jitter platform for collaborative interactive music.
