Pivot Vector Space Approach for Audio-Video Mixing

Philippe Mulhem, Mohan S. Kankanhalli, Ji Yi, Hadi Hassan

Abstract: An audio-mixing artist usually adds the musical accompaniment to video. Employing such artists is expensive and not feasible for a home video presentation. Our automatic audio-video mixing technique is suited for home videos. It uses a pivot vector space mapping method that matches video shots with music segments based on aesthetic cinematographic heuristics.
