Abstract

We try to address part of the challenge proposed by CeWe. A photo summarization method is developed to select representative photos. Based on the observation that the most important objects/views are often captured several times, we exploit near-duplicate detection techniques to represent a sequence of photo as a graph, and then the graph structure is analyzed to facilitate importance ranking. We focus on summarizing hundreds of photos taken in journeys lasting for one or two weeks. The qualitative and quantitative measurement results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
