Summary:
This paper is about a photo slideshow system. The system can automatically analyze thematic information about the collection of photos. The system can then generate slides for two modes: story-telling, and person-highlighting. In the story-telling mode, the system clusters photos by a theme-based clustering algorithm, and tiles multiple photos on a slide. There are many tiling layouts, and the slideshow is animated by transitions. In the person-highlighting mode, the system begins by recognizing faces from photos. Then it creates photo clusters for each individual.
Discussion:
I think that this system is pretty cool. I like that it can sort by theme or by person. This seems similar in concept to another paper I read about, the touch interface scrapbook. They both take something that is usually done by hand, and automate it. I think that this one rather than the other would be more popular though.
