Music Composition using Natural Motion of Fish based on Running Average Background Model

Abstract

This paper describes a technique of generating music from the natural motion of fish which are detected via the running average background subtraction method. The motion of the fish will create musical notes on another frame which will be analyzed and played by a music playing module that is proposed in this paper called 'Physic X'. This module is not only capable of generating natural sounding music but it can also interact with the fishes in the fish tank as well. A human interaction system is also added to encourage human participation in the music generating process.
