Sound and Sight: Composition for Image Analysis Systems

IAMAS Master’s thesis. Through the terminology of Rudolph Laban and Pierre Schaeffer, aesthetic links between visual shapes and sounds are explored. Computer vision techniques to extract shape descriptors are described as well as practical mappings of these descriptors to sonic parameters.
