AUTOMATED CREATION OF PHOTOBOOKS INCLUDING STATIC PICTORIAL DISPLAYS SERVING AS LINKS TO ASSOCIATED VIDEO CONTENT

摘要

An image processing system (IPS) is provided for creating a video-linked photobook. The method includes: receiving a video file including video content; processing the video file to identify a series of still image frames extracted from the video content; formatting the series of still image frames into a pictorial compilation; storing in a memory the pictorial compilation, and an association between the pictorial compilation and the video file; and transmitting from the image processing system computer-readable instructions for printing the pictorial compilation. Accordingly, images excerpted from a video file can be used to create a printed pictorial compilation. Imaging of the pictorial compilation with a smartphone/tablet PC can responsively result in display of the associated video file on the smartphone/tablet PC.
