Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of music information retrieval and cultural heritage digitization, and specifically to a professional-level guqin music evaluation system that integrates multimodal acoustic perception, artificial intelligence analysis, and standard quantitative evaluation. By constructing a scientific acoustic feature indicator system and a guqin style model, the objective evaluation of guqin performance quality and the digital inheritance of traditional schools can be achieved. Background Art

[0002] The current evaluation of guqin music mainly relies on subjective auditory experience, and has the following problems: single evaluation dimension: existing technologies (such as CN113314087A) only rely on audio spectrum analysis, ignoring multiple information such as vibration modes and playing techniques; vague school characteristics: the acoustic characteristics of traditional guqin schools (Guangling School, Yushan School, etc.) lack quantitative standards, resulting in disordered style inheritance; poor data comparability: different recording environments and equipment make cross-sample analysis invalid. Summary of the invention

[0003] The guqin music evaluation standard system architecture of the present invention is divided into a hardware layer, a hardware layer, an indicator layer, and an algorithm layer.

[0004] The hardware layer includes core equipment and extended equipment. Core equipment: multi-modal sound pickup adaptive guqin sound amplification base (invention patent basis), integrated vibration sensor, acoustic microphone and environmental monitoring module; extended equipment: laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV): non-contact measurement of panel vibration mode (accuracy 0.1μm); high-precision acoustic camera (48-channel array): spatial sound field reconstruction, positioning resonance energy distribution; infrared motion capture system: tracking the right hand support angle and left hand yinhua amplitude (accuracy ±0.5°).

[0005] The data layer is a multimodal database that includes acoustic data, visual data, and environmental data. Acoustic data: full-band recording (24bit / 192kHz), vibration spectrum (20Hz-20kHz); visual data: performer's fingering trajectory, piano body vibration heat map; environmental data: temperature and humidity, background noise (in accordance with ISO 3382-3 standard).

[0006] The index layer includes basic acoustic indicators and genre characteristic indicators. Basic acoustic indicators: timbre characteristics: harmonic distortion (THD < 1%), overtone attenuation slope (Δt = 30ms @ 3kHz); dynamic range: playing intensity gradient (ppp-fff corresponds to 30-100dB SPL); pitch stability: micro-fluctuation of notes (±5 cents is excellent). Genre characteristic indicators: For example, Guangling School: the thickness of scattered sound (high energy proportion of 200-400Hz); Yushan School: chanting frequency (4-6Hz vibration rate); Mei'an School: finger rolling density (number of string touches per second ≥ 8 times).

[0007] The algorithm layer includes a multimodal feature fusion model and a Qin style classifier. Multimodal feature fusion model: uses a graph convolutional network (GCN) to associate vibration, acoustic, and visual data; generates a unified feature vector (dimension 512) to characterize the overall quality of the performance. Qin style classifier: Based on deep metric learning, it constructs a genre feature space; supports similarity retrieval (such as the similarity score between the performance of "Liushui" and Guan Pinghu's version).

[0008] The method of constructing a Qin style library includes three aspects: data collection specifications, feature extraction process, and style modeling and verification.

[0009] Data collection specifications: Sample selection: covering representative repertoires of the nine major qin schools (≥50 hours of high-quality recordings for each school); Recording conditions: ambient noise ≤NR-20, temperature and humidity 22±2℃ / 50±5%RH; use standard excitation force (0.5N hammer) to record open string sounds as a benchmark.

[0010] Feature extraction process. Acoustic features: Short-time Fourier transform (STFT) extracts the time-frequency spectrum; Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) characterize the timbre texture. Vibration features: Resonant peak extraction (the first three modal frequencies of the panel f1=80Hz, f2=220Hz, f3=450Hz); decay time (T60) measures the resonance persistence of the piano body. Performance technique features: left-hand note trajectory curvature analysis; right-hand string contact angle-sound intensity mapping model.

[0011] Style modeling and verification. Unsupervised clustering: t-SNE dimensionality reduction visualization, verifying the spatial separability of genre features; cluster purity ≥ 90% (Guangling School / Shu School / Zhucheng School). Cross-genre comparability: design style transfer model (CycleGAN), verify feature robustness; expert blind test accuracy ≥ 85%.

[0012] The innovation of this invention lies in the establishment of the first guqin evaluation system that integrates LDV vibration measurement and acoustic array, breaking through the limitations of single modal analysis; pioneering the concept of guqin school acoustic fingerprint, realizing the digital "gene" archiving of cultural heritage; proposing 12 quantitative acoustic indicators, filling the gap in international standards for guqin professional evaluation; constructing an explainable model of guqin school style to help make traditional music education more scientific; providing an objective basis for guqin grading, instrument production, and restoration; and driving innovative business models of "AI+traditional culture" (such as virtual guqin school inheritors).
