ISMIR2019 Tutorial 3: Audiovisual Music Processing

This repository contains slides, code and additional material for ISMIR 2019 tutorial on Audiovisual music processing.

Environment setup

It is highly recommended to use a separate Miniconda/Anaconda environment to run the tutorial case studies. In addition, for exp1 you would require a GNU Octave and jupyter installation. Please find below a detailed set of steps to get started. If you already satisfy all of the software requirements you can directly start with the instructions in corresponding case study folders.

1. Install Miniconda: https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html

2. Install GNU Octave (Required for exp1): https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html. Here are some ways to do so:

   • Linux (Package manager): apt install octave or yum install octave
   • Linux or MacOS (Homebrew): brew install octave
   • Windows: Get installer from aforementioned download link

   Note: Please ensure that GNU Octave is in your PATH. For Windows users, it might be easier to set the OCTAVE_EXECUTABLE environment variable with the path to your octave executable. For example, this could be: C:\Octave-5.1.0.0\mingw64\bin\octave-cli.exe

3. Get the code

   git clone <repository_link>

4. Create a new conda environment using environment.yml file

   conda env create -f environment.yml

   Note: For anyone encountering the PackageNotFoundError with ffmpeg install:

   • First, remove the line - ffmpeg from environment.yml
   • After creating and activating ismir2019 environment, do

       conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg

5. Activate the environment

   conda activate ismir2019

You are now ready to run the experiments!
