APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING IMAGES USING THE AUDIO DATA

摘要

An apparatus and a method for managing an image by using sound information are provided to automatically designate a background music in accordance with information of a sound pattern when a user views photographed images, and generate video such as a slide show. A pattern analyzing part(100) records photographed images of events with sound generated around the events and analyzes patterns of the sound. An event clustering part(200) automatically clusters the images by the events by using the analyzed patterns and information of a photographing time interval between the images. A video output part(300) generates synthesized video to which a background music is coupled by assigning the background music to the clustered images, wherein the background music is selected from a music database(410) which stores music mapped by the patterns of the sound.
