A Study of Combination of Music and Image based on Favorite Music Genre

- Comparison of Impressions between Music and Images based on User's Attributes -

Abstract

This paper compares impressions between music and images aiming at construction of an automatic music-and-image-combination determination system by taking the personal preference into consideration. Since the combinations may depend on personal attributes such as his/her age, taste, etc., the preference to these music and images may change person by person. In order to solve this problem, psychological tests are conducted to clarify the relationships between the impressions of music and images, and a study for similar-impression combination grouped by favorite genre is explored. As a result of these experiments, we confirm that similar-impression combination depends on user's preference with regard to their favorite genre of music.
