Query-by-humming (QBH) systems have been introduced to address this need, as they allow the user to simply hum snatches of the tune to find the right song. Even though there have been many studies on QBH, few have combined multiple classifiers based on various fusion methods. Here we propose a new QBH system based on the score level fusion of multiple classifiers. This research is novel in the following three respects: three local classifiers [quantized binary (QB) code-based linear scaling (LS), pitch-based dynamic time warping (DTW), and LS] are employed; local maximum and minimum point-based LS and pitch distribution feature-based LS are used as global classifiers; and the combination of local and global classifiers based on the score level fusion by the PRODUCT rule is used to achieve enhanced matching accuracy. Experimental results with the 2006 MIREX QBSH and 2009 MIR-QBSH corpus databases show that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of single classifier and other fusion methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/1687-6180-2011-21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,18]],"date-time":"2011-08-18T18:22:18Z","timestamp":1313691738000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Intelligent query by humming system based on score level fusion of multiple classifiers"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"2011","author":[{"given":"Gi Pyo","family":"Nam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Thi Thu Trang","family":"Luong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Hyun Ha","family":"Nam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kang Ryoung","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sung-Joo","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"24_CR1","volume-title":"Signal Processing First","author":"JH McClellan","year":"2003","unstructured":"McClellan JH, Schafer RW, Yoder MA: Signal Processing First.
