# PianoVAM: A Multimodal Dataset for Piano Music Transcription
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the **PianoVAM (Visual and Audio Music Performance)** dataset, a multi-modal collection of piano performances designed for research in Music Information Retrieval (MIR).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset features synchronized recordings of various piano pieces, providing rich data across several modalities. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive resource for developing and evaluating models that can understand the complex relationship between the visual, auditory, and symbolic aspects of music performance.

## Dataset Description
|
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset consists of various piano pieces performed by multiple pianists. The data was captured simultaneously from a digital piano and high-resolution cameras to ensure precise synchronization between the audio, video, and MIDI streams. The collection is designed to cover a range of musical complexities and styles.

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Format:** JSON (`.json`) files.
|
|
|
* **Details:** Each file contains frame-by-frame coordinates for the 21 keypoints of both the left and right hands, as captured by MediaPipe Hands.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* **Details:** These files provide the precise timing (onset, offset), pitch, and velocity for every note played.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **`metadata.json`**: A JSON file that maps each recording to its corresponding data split (`train`, `valid`, `test`, `special`) and provides other relevant information.

```
|
|
|
* **Column Descriptions:**
|
|
|
* **`onset`**: The start time of the note in seconds.
|
|
|
* **`key_offset`**: The time when the finger is **physically released** from the key, in seconds. This is useful for video-based research such as fingering analysis.
|
|
|
* **`frame_offset`**: The time when the sound **completely ends**, considering pedal usage. This is analogous to the 'offset' used in traditional audio-only transcription.
|
|
|
* **`note`**: The MIDI note number (pitch).
|
|
|
* **`velocity`**: The MIDI velocity (how hard the key was struck).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Coming Soon
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **`Video/`**: (Coming Soon) This directory will contain the video recordings of the performances. The videos will be synchronized with the audio and MIDI data. The planned format is HDF5 (`.h5`) containing frame-by-frame image data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **`Fingering/`**: (Coming Soon) This directory will contain detailed frame-by-frame fingering annotations for each note played.
