    摘要: A database has chronologically ordered images classified into event groups based upon a time difference threshold, and into subgroups based upon a similarity measure. In a method and system for combining new images into such a database, new image are ordered into clusters based upon assessed image features. A representative image is selected in each cluster. A database segment chronologically overlapping the new images is designated and a set of database images similar to each representative image are identified in the segment. Different subgroups including one or more retrieved images are associated with each of cluster to provide matched subgroups. The new images are assigned to matched subgroups associated with respective clusters.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for adding graphical material to a digital graphics album is disclosed. Reference material in a digital graphics album is specified. Annotation data is extracted from the reference material and may be processed by a natural language processor to produce search keywords. In addition to the keywords, user directives may be provided, both of which are used to conduct a search for related graphical materials. The search is conducted by querying a graphical material database through a network connection. The search results are received and the user can select from the resultant materials for inclusion in the digital graphics album. If no satisfactory material is found, the user can specify a reference graphical image that is processed to produce search criteria that are image content descriptors. The database is again queried in accordance with these descriptors to provide search results for possible inclusion.

    摘要: A system and method for automatic creation of digital image albums. A Page Creator Module utilizes a genetic engine and a layout evaluation module. The genetic engine evolves a group of images to a plurality of album pages, based on certain layout criteria. The evaluation module calculates layout criteria and compares them with user preferences. When an acceptable image/page layout has been generated, the image/page assignments are transferred to an Image Placement Module. The Image Placement Module utilizes a second genetic engine, which evolves various criteria to generate page layouts genetic structures. These structures define the location, scale, and rotation of images placed on a given page. A layout evaluation module calculates and compares these layouts with certain other preferences and page requirements. When a suitable layout has been generated, a final album output is generated, which may be displayed, printed, or otherwise transferred for subsequent utilization.

    摘要: An automated method for creating an image storage device such as a disk, and more particularly a DVD, CD, or CD-ROM for playback on a playback mechanism entails initiating a device with a processor. A user is instructed to connect a digital image capture device to the device, wherein digital records with image content and metadata are downloaded from the digital device into the processor's memory. Metadata extracted from the image metadata is sorted into groups based upon set parameters. The groups are mapped into a digital file template forming a digital file with chapters, wherein each group corresponds to a chapter. A bit stream representing the chapters is a sequential order is created from the digital file. The bit stream is saved to memory, sent to a writer, and written to a DVD, CD or CD-ROM. The written DVD, CD or CD-ROM is provided to the user.
