Detection methods

  • active detector: reacts by making decisions according to a deterministic or indeterministic method (there are a multitude of paths to positive detection);
  • passive detector: reacts blindly (there is only one path to positive detection).

Objects detected

  • single objects: homogeneous/heterogeneous (one object at a time in linear succession) ;
  • multiple objects: homogeneous/heterogeneous (several objects at a time in linear succession; implicit variable density).

Nature of objects

  • static characteristics: pitch, register, dynamics, duration, etc. ;
  • dynamic processes: trill, flatterzunge, articulation, pattern, etc.

Interpretation of detection for action

  • detection score: what are we looking for? In what way? When?
    • out of metric time: objects in order: ordered list - objects in disorder: set of objects
    • in metric time: objects in order: at time x we look for y - objects in disorder: at time x we look for one of the objects in the set
  • database for actions
    • simple actions with or without parameters: write values (frequency, amplitude, coefficient, etc.), with coefficient for scaling
    • complex actions, with or without parameters: start recording, activate passive processes, reinject the result into the detection process input.
