Abstract

As everyone knows, the sound effect and background music of motion picture is effective to emphasize what the author wanted to express. However, in case of fully automated generative animation, it is difficult to introduce such a method for design of accompanying sounds because the generator has no intention behind the process. This paper introduces a method to synthesize waveforms of sounds for an automated evolutionary animation [1, 2] by computer. To emphasize the emotional effects for viewers, it was designed as to fit the psychological effect of sounds with visuals under some intuitive correspondences between these two different modalities, such as a brighter image is associated with a higher pitch, a more complex texture inspires a noisier or more solid tone, and so on. The other mappings between statistical features of image and parameters of sound synthesis and modulation are also effective to produce richer audio outputs. In addition, the two types of restriction on pitches for the scale and on timing for the rhythm were also examined for automatic music composition. There are many potential applications and extensions from this research, including evolutionary production of sound effects, as future works.
