WhistleRecognition Applied in SearchingMusicDatabase

This project aims at constructing an innovative Music Search Engine. The system takes
human whistle as input, and return full information ofthe song which user has just whistled.
Due to the fact that human being remembers the melody of composition better than the name
or lyric, the project purpose is to demonstrate a new searching method which is based on
composition melody. There are two main phases in Music Searching Engine: 1) Whistle
Recognition: converting whistle to music note and 2) Music Search: finding the similar songs
with the user whistle. Music Search Engine mainly bases onthe application of Digital Signal
Processing and Dynamic Programming theory. The project was successful in constructing
Music Search Engine. For demonstration purpose, author has built an online music search
application which is derived from Music Search Engine above. The demonstration purpose is
to show the applicability and potentially commercial value ofthe project. This search engine
as well as the online application was constructed using JAVA technology.
