In this paper, we present a novel automatic image slideshow system that explores a new medium between images and music. It can be regarded as a new image selection and slideshow composition criterion. Based on the idea of ``hearing colors, seeing sounds" from the art of music visualization, equal importance is assigned to image features and audio properties for better synchronization. We minimize the aesthetic energy distance between visual and audio features. Given a set of images, a subset is selected by correlating image features with the input audio properties. The selected images are then synchronized with the music subclips by their audio-visual distance. The inductive image displaying approach has been introduced for common displaying devices.

In this paper, we present a content based single-shot video editing scheme. We follow the classic long take directing and editing schemes. This system automatically adjusts the projection velocity of raw video clips to enhance the aesthetic interest. We build up the mathematical model for projection rhythm manipulation based on film theories. The system segments interesting sub-shots and ordinary sub-shots within the single video clip. Different sub-shots are projected to different duration to maximize the video interest. The output video is rendered according to adjusted projection duration. Within this framework, we transform the screen rhythm and camera motion of a given single video shot. Motion interests of frames are re-distributed in projection duration modification and certain special projection patterns are introduced to enhance the aesthetic interest of original video. The user study shows that our scheme is very effective.

In this paper, we present a post-editing scheme for camera-work. It is based on video retargeting, but aims to enhance the aesthetic interest of home produced video sequences. The essential part of video clips are emphasized by automatically zooming in. The camera pans to preserve the important features within the frame while zooming in. Different from traditional video retargeting schemes, we use a variable zooming factor which is based on the motion saliency of frames.
