Abstract

This document summarizes the discussion of the interest group on Optical Music Recognition (OMR) that took place in the 12th IAPR International Workshop on Graphics Recognition, and presents the main conclusions drawn during the session: OMR should revisit how it describes itself, and the OMR community should intensify its collaboration both internally and with other stakeholders.
