Vignette: Reimagining the Analog Photo Album

1 Abstract Although the smartphone has emerged as the most convenient device on which to capture photos, it lacks the tools to effectively view and organize these photos. Given the casual nature of smartphone photography, we propose a system that can streamline and simplify the post-capture process. We propose Vignette, a content management system for smartphone photography that improves the visual story by automating the organization of a user's photo album. We hope to provide dynamic organization of photo albums that supports user queries including requests for images of a particular person or genre. The main task we consider is clustering photos of a particular individual.
