  • Patent number: 9467673
    Abstract: Disclosure in the description is related to a method for rhythm visualization, a system, and computer-readable storage. The invention allows the system to visualize the rhythm according to audio signals and personal features made by individual. In the method according to one embodiment, a personal image is firstly captured, and features can be extracted from the image. A personalized image is therefore created based on the features. Next, audio features are extracted from the audio signals. A personalized rhythm configuration can be obtained. A personalized rhythm video is therefore created based on the information related to the audio, personalized image, and the personalized rhythm configuration. Furthermore, a group rhythm video may also be obtained as integrating multiple personal rhythm data.
