Emotion matching prediction between music and video segments is essential for intelligent mobile sensing systems, where multimodal affective cues collected from smart devices must be jointly analyzed for context-aware media understanding. However, traditional approaches relying on single-modality feature extraction struggle to capture complex cross-modal dependencies, resulting in a gap between low-level audiovisual signals and high-level affective semantics. To address these challenges, a dual-driven framework that integrates perceptual characteristics with objective feature representations is proposed for audiovisual affective matching prediction. The framework incorporates fine-grained affective states of audiovisual data to better characterize cross-modal correlations from an emotional distribution perspective. Moreover, a decoupled Deep Canonical Correlation Analysis approach is developed, incorporating discriminative sample-pairing criteria (matched/mismatched data discrimination) and separate modality-specific component extractors, which dynamically refine the feature projection space. To further enhance multimodal feature interaction, an Attention and Feature-Consistency-Loss-Based Multi-Task Learning Network is proposed. In addition, a feature-consistency loss function is introduced to impose joint constraints across dual semantic embeddings, ensuring both affective consistency and matching accuracy. Experiments on a self-collected benchmark dataset demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a mean absolute error of 0.109 in music–video matching score prediction, significantly outperforming existing approaches.

This article investigates the impact of visual color perception on fine-grained emotion prediction in videos, analyzing the contribution of color perception features in fine-grained emotion prediction. A total of 20 subjects were involved in this experiment. First, 10 subjects conducted a fine-grained emotional subjective evaluation experiment on 50 video clips. Then, another 10 subjects conducted a subjective evaluation experiment of color perception annotation for these 50 video clips. On this basis, the correlation and mechanism between color perceptual features and fine-grained emotions were analyzed. Finally, a fine-grained emotion prediction model was established based on the combination of objective features and color perceptual features. It was also observed that, compared to using only objective features, incorporating perceptual features enhanced the model’s accuracy. This article also compared the importance of different perceptual features for each emotion and explained the mechanism between color perception and fine-grained emotions. By selecting the top 24 important features to predict emotions, the association between perceptual features and emotions was more effectively captured.

Most existing intelligent editing tools for music and video rely on the cross-modal matching technology of the affective consistency or the similarity of feature representations. However, these methods are not fully applicable to complex audiovisual matching scenarios, resulting in low matching accuracy and suboptimal audience perceptual effects due to ambiguous matching rules and associated factors. To address these limitations, this paper focuses on both the similarity and integration of affective distribution for the artistic audiovisual works of movie and television video and music. Based on the rich emotional perception elements, we propose a hybrid matching model based on feature canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and fine-grained affective similarity. The model refines KCCA fusion features by analyzing both matched and unmatched music–video pairs. Subsequently, the model employs XGBoost to predict relevance and to compute similarity by considering fine-grained affective semantic distance as well as affective factor distance. Ultimately, the matching prediction values are obtained through weight allocation. Experimental results on a self-built dataset demonstrate that the proposed affective matching model balances feature parameters and affective semantic cognitions, yielding relatively high prediction accuracy and better subjective experience of audiovisual association. This paper is crucial for exploring the affective association mechanisms of audiovisual objects from a sensory perspective and improving related intelligent tools, thereby offering a novel technical approach to retrieval and matching in music–video editing.

Film and TV video scenes contain rich art and design elements such as light and shadow, color, composition, and complex affects. To recognize the fine-grained affects of the art carrier, this paper proposes a multitask affective value prediction model based on an attention mechanism. After comparing the characteristics of different models, a multitask prediction framework based on the improved progressive layered extraction (PLE) architecture (multi-headed attention and factor correlation-based PLE), incorporating a multi-headed self-attention mechanism and correlation analysis of affective factors, is constructed. Both the dynamic and static features of a video are chosen as fusion input, while the regression of fine-grained affects and classification of whether a character exists in a video are designed as different training tasks. Considering the correlation between different affects, we propose a loss function based on association constraints, which effectively solves the problem of training balance within tasks. Experimental results on a self-built video dataset show that the algorithm can give full play to the complementary advantages of different features and improve the accuracy of prediction, which is more suitable for fine-grained affect mining of film and TV scenes.
