METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING ANIMATED ART EFFECTS ON STATIC IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method of generating animated art effects on static images, the method comprising:
- detecting areas of interest on an original static image and determining features of the areas of interest;
creating visual objects of art effects which relate to the features of the areas of interest;
modifying parameters of visual objects in accordance with features of an accompanying sound; and
generating an animation frame comprising the original static image with superimposed visual objects of art effects.

Abstract
A method and system for generating animated art effects while viewing static images, where the appearance of effects depends upon on the content of an image and parameters of accompanying sound is provided. The method of generating animated art effects on static images, based on the static image and accompanying sound feature analysis, includes storing an original static image; detecting areas of interest on the original static image and computing features of the areas of interest; creating visual objects of art effects according to the features detected in the areas of interest; detecting features of an accompanying sound; modifying parameters of visual objects in accordance with the features of the accompanying sound; and generating a frame of an animation including the original static image with superimposed visual objects of art effects.

7. A system for generating animated art effects on static images, the system comprising:
-
a module which detects areas of interest on an original static image and which detects a position of the areas of interest; a module which detects features of the areas of interest; a module which generates visual objects of art effects which relate to the features of the areas of interest; a module which detects features of an accompanying sound and determines parameters of the accompanying sound; a module which generates animation frames by combining the static images and the visual objects, which are modified based on current features of the accompanying sound, according to semantics of operation of an effect; and a display unit which displays the animation frames. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
