ABSTRACT
Nowadays, musicians would like to use technologies to help to create and bring beautiful music to others. Therefore, the need to create a customized PDF document that allows playing the corresponding MP3 starting from the desired measure is required. Ideally, this application should be able to analyze the MP3 audio and the PDF document by itself and find the starting point of the music clip for a measure without any guidance from users using artificial intelligence techniques. Time-frequency analysis and optical music recognition will be introduced in this report when proposing the solutions to handle the audio and identify image patterns. Unfortunately, due to the limited time, equipment, and knowledge background in Physics, only the simpler approaches were implemented to build this application. The approaches I used to build this application are discussed in my report. The instructions for using the application are also included in the README file submitted with my source code.
