Lighting Control using Frequency Analysis of Music

Abstract

Music affects sensitivity and emotion of human, emotional power of the music has been applied to various fields. Especially, to visualize as well as listen to music is able to create various atmosphere.In this paper, we proposed sensitivity control system for interaction with people to merge music and lighting. Because existing FT(Fourier Transform) has not information about the time, to analyze information of changed signal according to the time is difficult. In order to solve such a problem, we use STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform) method to analyze music signal. and also, we classified music for three genre and compared the frequency characteristics according to genre, and control the color, brightness of LED light based on the frequency components within analysis range. Unlike existing LED lighting control study using music, we had color control of emotional lighting and brightness control using variation amount of music signal in this paper. Proposed lighting control system will be able to utilize various industry fields as well as emotional lighting.
