博士 === 臺灣大學 === 資訊網路與多媒體研究所 === 98 === In this dissertation, we propose a novel home video editing system for generating music videos (MV) based on rhythmic control and the user interests. With the aid of rhythmic control from editing theories, the developed system is able to generate appealing and rhythmic music videos. We construct a module called “Interest Meter” to analyze variations of viewer’s blink rate, eye movement and facial expression when s/he watches unorganized raw home videos. This system transforms user’s behaviors into clues for determining important parts of video shots. Moreover, the friendly user interface allows novices to efficiently edit videos without difficulty. Experimental results show that this new editing mechanism can effectively generate music video summaries and can greatly reduce efforts of manual editing.
