Image Wave: rhythmic synchronization of multimedia components

The characteristics of a multimedia content structure based on its temporal parallelism are typically found in counterpoint musical pieces. These characteristics act as a rhythmic synchronization mechanism that forms a temporal image of the multimedia content. In our Multimedia Montage study, we have developed a prototype system that produces a movie according to the script description of the component structure. We applied this system to the counterpoint structure and produced movies that we call counterpoint movies. In order to automate the rhythmic synchronization of the multimedia components, we started a new study called Image Wave. In this study, we are engaged in the rhythmic information extraction of multimedia components and their composition based on the rhythmic information
