Smashcima: Full-Page Handwritten Music Document Synthesizer

Original language description

Despite massive progress made in Optical Music Recognition (OMR) with deep learning, data scarcity remains an issue, especially for manuscripts. Synthetic data has been shown to alleviate this issue, but no tool for rendering a handwritten page from structured encoding such as MusicXML exists. This paper introduces Smashcima, a framework for the creation of synthetic handwritten full-page music images. It accepts MusicXML files and produces images with full information on their glyphs, segmentation masks, keypoints, notation graph, and semantics. It is compatible with the MuNG format and so can also be used to produce synthetic training data object detection and graph models. It can synthesize images of all levels of complexity of music notation, including pianoform music. Smashcima thus greatly increases the value of dataset acquisition, as it can expand a small manually annotated dataset to the scale of arbitrary available MusicXML data, thereby alleviating manuscript data scarcity for OMR.
