SheetReader

Inspiration

Musician friends

What it does

Takes a pdf image of the sheet music to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and converts it to a midi file

How I built it

python with openCV and midiUtil

Challenges I ran into

scanning the pdf to parse staff lines and isolating quarter notes

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

turning the pdf image into an actual midi

What I learned

What's next for SheetReader

generalize it to other pdfs and then train neural net to recognize handwriting and then generate midi files from that
