Abstract: Plagiarism is essentially the copying or stealing of the works of another individual or a group and presenting them as one’s original work. This paper aims to create a plagiarism detection application which analyses two audio files and finds the level of similarity between them, giving a percentage number to aptly define the level of plagiarism in the allegedly copied product. There are a few different techniques which can be used to approach this problem. This work uses Music Information Retrieval to perform analysis and find the similarity in the drum beats and the notes played in the song. A graphical user interface is created to provide ease of use so that everyone – from large corporations to individual end users – can use this application with minimum effort or skill.
Index Terms: Audio, Graphical User Interface, Music, Plagiarism, Audio.
