Visualization of Photo Album on Mobile Devices

摘要

Visualization of photo albums has recently attracted much attention with the goal of organizing personal photo albums on mobile devices. Although there are numerous album management systems, visualizing a photo cluster still remains a challenging issue. The most popular and reasonable visualization method of photo album is to display the representative photo from each photo cluster. In this paper, we propose a method that selects the representative photo given a photo cluster. To this end, three types of evaluations, which are aesthetic photo quality, visual similarity and semantic importance, are conducted within each cluster. The photo with the highest score from three evaluations is selected as the representative photo for visualization. From, experimental results, we confirm that the proposed algorithm provides reliable organization results for various personal albums.
