  Automated musical transitions through rule-based synthesis using musical properties

  Scott A. King

  We present a novel approach to automatically generating a smooth transition between two distinct compositions. Our system

  Intelligent Transition Generator (ITG)

  generates a transition between two input compositions. ITG analyzes tablatures of the input compositions to extract relevant information

  such as playing style

  time signatures

  chord similarities

  and note durations to determine appropriate rules for creating the transition. The composition engine uses various algorithms to apply the rules based upon timing information. ITG typically generates 2–4 bars of random transitions that are smooth and musically harmonious.\nOur new method to automatically compose sections of music does not require guidance from a composer or a set of sample compositions and therefore

  it provides an efficient approach

  which could be used in the gaming industry for dynamic

  event-based music. It also could be applied to other multimedia purposes such as generating transitions between tracks in media players.

  Automated musical transitions through rule-based synthesis using musical properties

  Recent innovations in 3D processing and availability of geospatial data have contributed largely to more comprehensive solutions to data visualization. As various data formats are utilized to describe the data

  a combination of layers from different sources allow us to represent 3D urban areas

  contributing to ideas of emergency management and smart cities. This work focuses on 3D urban environment reconstruction using crowdsourced OpenStreetMap data. Once the data are extracted

  the visualization pipeline draws features using coloring for added context. Moreover

  by structuring the layers and entities through the addition of simulation parameters

  the generated environment is made simulation ready for further use. Results show that urban areas can be properly visualized in 3D using OpenStreetMap data given data availability. The simulation-ready environment was tested using hypothetical flooding scenarios

  which demonstrated that the added parameters can be utilized in environmental simulations. Furthermore

  an efficient restructuring of data was implemented for viewing the city information once the data are parsed.

  City Maker: Reconstruction of Cities from OpenStreetMap Data for Environmental Visualization and Simulations

  Scott A. King

  Flood simulations are vital to gain insight into possible dangers and damages for effective emergency planning. With flexible and natural ways of visualizing water flow

  more precise evaluation of the study area is achieved. In this study

  we describe a method for flood visualization using both regular and adaptive grids for position-based fluids method to visualize the depth of water in the study area. The mapping engine utilizes adaptive cell sizes to represent the study area and utilizes Jenks natural breaks method to classify the data. Predefined single-hue and multi-hue color sets are used to generate a heat map of the study area. It is shown that the dynamic representation benefits the mapping engine through enhanced precision when the study area has non-disperse clusters. Moreover

  it is shown that

  through decreasing precision

  and utilizing an adaptive grid approach

  the simulation runs more efficiently when particle interaction is computationally expensive.
