Abstract

Visualizing musical sound for content expression is very efficient application which allows presenting music in all its various facets. This article explores the significance of musical emotion anticipating image emotion features. This is a novel representation of the music data to show how the emotion features can add value to a set of existing sound aspects. The musical emotions were then represented by a filter with support of the Gaussian distribution to be used as a color balance filter diversified in term of musical features. With this filter, a color adjustment model can use RGB color system to modify color channels to produce color transform for image regions which are associated with the original musical emotions. As the transform filter is based on music emotions, the image has its color changed adaptively by the emotions. The visualizing solution is then performed in experiments with a music database and image dataset to evaluate the performance. The experiments show the productive visual effect of emotion taking place in the music database with a wide range of instruments and styles and should be of interest for applications of mapping the music and the visual data.
