Abstract

This work presents a showcase on automated selection of photos from a digital photo collection. The Photo Summary technology considers content-based information and photo metadata to determine the most relevant photos in a given collection. The key contribution is the rating scheme for relevance which is based on criteria such as the diversity of photos, the importance of the photo motifs, the technical quality and aesthetics of photos and the interdependence of photos concerning the represented events. The summarization system further considers user preferences and visualizes the selected photos as event staples.
