Automatically organizing digital photographs using time and content
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present similarity-based methods to cluster digital photos by time and image content. This approach is general, unsupervised, and makes minimal assumptions regarding the structure or statistics of the photo collection. We describe versions of the algorithm using temporal similarity with and without content-based similarity, and compare the algorithms with existing techniques, measured against ground-truth clusters created by humans.

Automatic Rating and Selection of Digital Photographs
This paper presents methods for automatically rating and selecting digital photographs. The importance of each photograph is estimated by analyzing its content as well as its time-metadata. The presence of people is estimated by combining face and skin detection. Finally, the appeal of each photograph is calculated using a trained SVM classifier. The results of a conducted user study show that ...
متن کاملAutoAlbum: Clustering Digital Photographs using Probabilistic Model Merging
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 algorith...
متن کاملViewpoint-based Search and Browse of Digital Archive Content
We propose new search and browse methods that use three-dimensional (3D) viewpoints as queries of digital archive content. The idea is that by linking 3D models and photographs via spatial information, the view point in particular, we can use them as a reference for each other when browsing photographs and/or information, or walking through the 3D virtual space. A 3D viewpointbased approach is ...
متن کاملLeveraging Geo-Referenced Digital Photographs Thesis Introduction
As the photography world shifted from film cameras into digital cameras, computers now play a significant role in managing people’s photographs or, if you will, memories. Photos are stored, shared, searched and viewed — all in digital format. Managing large personal collections of digital photographs is an increasingly difficult task. As the rate of digital acquisition rises, storage becomes ch...
متن کاملAutomatic Organization of Photograph Collections
In this paper we address the problem of interacting with large streams of photographs. To achieve this, we studied patterns of photography, and found that photo streams exhibit a strong burst pattern along multiple levels of the time line. Using this fact we developed an algorithm to automatically organize the photographs hierarchically, where each node corresponds to a different event that the...
