AutoAlbum: Clustering Digital Photographs using Probabilistic Model Merging
نویسنده
چکیده
Consumers need help finding digital photographs in their personal collections. AutoAlbum helps users find their photos by automatically clustering photos into albums. The albums are presented in an easy-to-use browsing user interface. AutoAlbum uses the time and order of photo creation to assist in clustering: albums consist of temporally contiguous photos. The content-based clustering algorithm is best-first probabilistic model merging, which is fast and yields clusters that are often semantically meaningful.

Video shot grouping using best-first model merging
For more efficiently organizing, browsing, and retrieving digital video, it is important to extract video structure information at both scene and shot levels. This paper presents an effective approach to video scene segmentation (shot grouping) based on probabilistic model merging. In our proposed method, we regard the shots in video sequence as hidden state variable and use probabilistic clust...
متن کاملAgglomerative clustering on range data with a unified probabilistic merging function and termination criterion
Clustering methods, which are frequently employed for region-based segmentation, are inherently metric based. A fundamental problem with an estimation-based criterion is that as the amount of information in a region decreases, the parameter estimates become extremely unreliable and incorrect decisions are likely to be made. We show that clustering need not be metric based, and further we use a ...

متن کاملOrganising a photograph collection based on human appearance
This thesis describes a complete framework for organising digital photographs in an unsupervised manner, based on the appearance of people captured in the photographs. Organising a collection of photographs manually, especially providing the identities of people captured in photographs, is a time consuming task. Unsupervised grouping of images containing similar persons makes annotating names e...
متن کاملModeling of a Probabilistic Re-Entrant Line Bounded by Limited Operation Utilization Time
This paper presents an analytical model based on mean value analysis (MVA) technique for a probabilistic re-entrant line. The objective is to develop a solution method to determine the total cycle time of a Reflow Screening (RS) operation in a semiconductor assembly plant. The uniqueness of this operation is that it has to be borrowed from another department in order to perform the production s...
