Features well when trying to identify similarities between songs of other genres. To help remedy this issue, the team then produced heat maps from their histograms. These heat maps take into account segment length, like the histograms, but then add the /)05(#"7#,(8.(%!#+%!(%,+!K;#"*#e0"5&%(,,I#!"# the picture. ='(,(#'()!#.)6,#')/(#)#0"!#"7#&)!);#>5!# !'(KI*(#%"!#>)&#"%<(#K"5#')/(#0""@(&#)!# )#7(-9#='(#)>"/(#'()!#.)6#+,#)%#)/(*)8(# from many different songs.
