The short-term results of a high-volume, multi-surgeon LASIK Corporation were comparable with those reported in the Food and Drug Administration clinical trials during the same period.

We present a novel slideshow generation concept based on content-aware photo-music mapping. Current technologies for automated personal photo slideshow generation primarily focus on photo presentations and visual effects. These solu tions utilize either a manually chosen single song or preset slideshow songs. Our technology focuses on an automatic soundtrack generation process that attempts to comprehend what the photos depict and choose music accordingly. The process comprises analyzing a photo album, composing an auto-soundtrack by dynamically mapping song segments to photo events, and automatically choosing content-aware tran sitions and visual effects appropriate for the presentation.Index Terms-Personal photo slideshows, music infor mation retrieval, photo information retrieval, emotion recog nition

This paper presents algorithms for fast indexing and searching of a metadata database using a particular type of audio fingerprint as the key. Because of the variability of audio and hence its content-derived fingerprints, simple index-based database lookups have previously been proven to be insufficient. Prior approaches, on the other hand, are computationally complex and rely on large memory and processing resources for realistic applications, which makes them unsuitable for deployment in embedded environments. Thus, a multidimensional range query algorithm has been developed to efficiently cope with altered audio content. This search algorithm is tunable to adjust desired coverage, CPU load, and disk load. Special care has been taken to design the system to be suitably fast and lightweight to implement on extremely modest computing hardware, such as portable consumer electronic devices.
