Abstract

To exploit rich content embedded in a single photograph, a system named Photo2Video was developed to automatically convert a photographic series into a video by simulating camera motions, set to incidental music of the user's choice. For a chosen photographic series, an appropriate camera motion pattern is selected for each photograph to generate a corresponding motion photograph clip. Then, the final output video is rendered by connecting a series of motion photograph clips with specific transitions, and aligning with the selected incidental music. Photo2Video provides a novel way to browse a series of images and can be regarded as a system exploring the new medium between photograph and video.
