DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Referring to FIG. 1, a system of the present invention comprises a video analysis module 10, a music analysis module 20, an AI matching module 30 and a music editing module 40.

[0013] The video analysis module 10 makes an analysis according to color tone, storyboard pace, video dialogue (such as a plot, a word of turn in speech and the like), length and category, director's special requirement and characteristic, actors expression, movement, weather, scene, buildings, spatial and temporal factors, things, creature, character, character personality;

[0014] video content analysis of the video analysis module 10 includes: a color analysis, a content analysis and a character expression analysis. Referring to FIG. 2, which shows a structure of color analysis categories for analyses of color function, color value; a content analysis distinguishes who, how, when, where and what (such as a year, a location, a time, a plot and the like) based on a scene, a person, an item and lighting in a video; a character expression analysis determines an emotion of a person, a plot, a likely conversation and the like in a video according to an expression; by combining the described video content analysis, vector values of various videos can be obtained respectively. A storyboard file analysis for processing storyboard pace in the video analysis module 10 is made according to a time point of the storyboard pace, and a mode is then input to serve as a reference for time point recording, and music and sound effect insertion points between scene switches. The storyboard file analysis obtains a time in seconds for each storyboard, which can be used to make an analysis or an on-point design on each storyboard content; a sound effect or a storyboard list in a music matching analysis of the video analysis module 10 and the music analysis module 20 can be used to collect a Word storyboard file and a video itself in a frame-by-frame analysis. A character-based analysis related to a video dialogue in the video analysis module 10 is made according to a video dialogue and a plot, and the video dialogue is processed to look for a storyline or delete a word of turn in speech, so as to clearly present keywords and arrange the same according to dependency (or influence), and proportionally locate a corresponding emotional parameter on average, a current Mandarin emotion dictionary is used to make a textual analysis. When the video analysis module 10 processes a director's special requirement, a special requirement made by the director is weighted on an order of a result (a proportion of influence on the result from said factor is greater).

[0015] The music analysis module 20 makes an analysis according to recorded music form, sectional turn, style, genre, melody, tempo, instrument, chord accompaniment, voice type, rhythm, volume and emotional tension; a music analysis and content of the music analysis module 20 includes: a music property analysis, an emotion analysis and music characteristic information, wherein the music property analysis is related to an analysis of musical tone property, instrumental arrangement, music structure, rhythm, chord, chord progression, rhythm notes, pitch, scale progression, style, music form, section, phrase, lyrical phrase, genre and other music file information.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 3, shows a schematic view of emotional parameters in a current music analysis, an emotional parameter (x, y) of the emotion analysis at different time points of each song is recorded by means of machine training and intelligent learning according to musical content; wherein an x axis (Valence) of the emotional parameter shows positive and negative values of emotions (a positive value indicates a positive inclination, and a negative value indicates a negative inclination), and a y axis (Arousal) of the emotional parameter shows an excitement level of an emotion. Music information is derived from a singer, a music professional, album production personnel, single track production personnel, a record company, a media company, OP, SP, a regional organization, a copyright collective management organization, a copyright, a contractual relationship, a recorded music length, a style, a file location, an open region, a streaming link, a download link, a video link, a midi file, a way file and a mp3 file; in addition, a reference music analysis in the music analysis module 20 is related to input preferred reference music and program, and the input reference music is used to make a music analysis to locate a title matched with an analysis result in a database.

[0017] Referring to FIG. 4, shows a schematic view of audio matching reference information for an intelligent system for matching audio with video according to the present invention, the present invention obtains a corresponding value by means of the listed storyboard file analysis, textual analysis, the director's special requirement, reference music analysis, video content analysis and music analysis, and then correspondingly matches a value of a video with music. Referring to FIG. 5, shows a flow chart of audio matching modes for the intelligent system for matching audio with video according to the present invention, the present invention classifies and induces a final result between a video and music according to a classification function commonly used in audio matching, wherein a related video type is determined and set according to a story property, and is mainly decided according to a part to be emphasized in audio matching; for example, a character (including a character personality and inner feelings), a plot, a scene (including a location or a city), a time, a point of action and the like; a special picture requirement is a reverse or parallel effect not in accordance with video content, such as a reversely progressing effect, parallel plot setting (or reference music), deception or hints to audience, a transitional link using music and the like.

[0018] The present invention of the intelligent system for matching audio with video is characterized in: an AI matching module 30 for connecting to the video analysis module 10 and the music analysis module 20, so as to perform adequate matching between a video and a musical characteristic and recommend five songs for matching in practice; if the recommended songs are not satisfactory, new recommendations of other songs can be made for matching. The music editing module 40 is connected to the AI matching module 30, and the present invention can be used to impeccably match a time axis with an impact point between a music file and a video file by means of clip cutting and editing, music editing, music volume adjustment and sound field simulation. With regard to point-to-point matching of sound effects between the music editing module 40 and the music analysis module 20, in video data referred thereby, there can be more sound effects, so that an insertion point for a sound effect can be obtained by analyzing a waveform. The video data referred to by the AI matching module 30 trained by the present invention includes: YouTube-Movie, YouTube-movie clips and the like.
