Foley Sound

Foley sound synthesis, the automated creation of realistic sound effects synchronized with video, aims to replace the labor-intensive manual process currently used in film and multimedia production. Recent research heavily utilizes deep learning models, particularly diffusion models and variational autoencoders, often incorporating techniques like attention mechanisms and temporal event conditioning to improve audio-visual alignment and control over sound characteristics. This active research area is driven by the need for efficient and high-quality sound generation, impacting both the creative process and the overall cost-effectiveness of multimedia content creation.
