Abstract:
In this paper, we discuss the generation of icons that represent the emotion expressed in music. We use the emotion plane for connecting the music with the icon shape affectively. A model to project arbitrary music on the plane is introduced using the result of a user survey and various features of audio signals. Icon shapes are located on the plane from the result of user survey. The icon shape of the input music is obtained by blending neighbor icon shapes of the point of the music on the emotion plane. Using this method, one can easily guess the emotion of music from the corresponding icon shape and find the music he or she wants.
