Abstract

Computer-assisted photo album creation continues to be a challenging application as it requires integrated technical solutions to many difficult problems. Effective solutions must leverage both design knowledge and image understanding algorithms to automate time-consuming tasks like image selection, grouping, cropping, layout and background selection. At the same time, they should allow the user to cater to personal tastes by fine-tuning aspects of album appearance. MagicPhotobook is a photobook authoring system that takes steps in these directions by providing advances over prior solutions in the following areas: automatic image selection and theme-based image grouping; dynamic page layout; automatic cropping; automatic background selection; design-preserving background artwork transformation; and a simple yet powerful user interface for personalization.
