3. Why? Take an idea a step further Novel concept Combining abstract ideas Microsoft Imagine Cup

4. Image As Blocks

5. Design: Image analysis Edge Detection-Sobel Edge Detection Texture Analysis- Haar wavelet (Discrete Wavelet Transform) Dominant Color-most common color (mode) Average Brightness-average all pixels (mean) (Sobel, 1991)

10. Dominant Color and Average Brightness

11. Design: Music Generation Take input from image analysis. Configurable instruments-user can edit and composer will use. Multiple composers. o Naive Pentatonic o Music Theoretical

12. Naïve Pentatonic Composer Just brightness Pentatonic scale o Guaranteed to have notes not clash

13. Music Theoretical Composer Apply basic music theory. Use all available image characteristics Generate: o Rhythm o Melody o Counter-melody o Harmony o Bassline o Volume o Scale o Key Change

14. Demonstration

15. Accomplishments Combined two forms of creative expression o Visual Art o Music Created a complex algorithm from scratch

16. Conclusion What next? o MTC updates and modifications o GUI progress display o Next year senior project?
