    摘要: A method for automatically selecting and organizing a subset of photos from a set of photos provided by a user, who has an account on at least one social network providing some context, for creating a summarized photo album with a storytelling structure. The method comprises: arranging the set of photos into a three level hierarchy, acts, scenes and shots; checking whether photos are photos with people or not; obtaining an aesthetic measure of the photos; creating and ranking face clusters; selecting the most aesthetic photo of each face cluster; selecting photos with people until complete a predefined number of photos of the summarized album picking the ones which optimize the function: Of(C,C*,S,CSN)=αfAf(S)−γfd(HCharacter(S)HCharacter(C∪CSN)−δfd(HAct(S),HAct(C*)); and then selecting non-people photos which minimize the following function Oa: Oa(C*,S)=d(HAct,(S),HAct(C*)); ordering all the selected photos in chronological order; and finally discarding all the photos which have not been selected.

    摘要: A respective model of background color is determined for each image in a set of images. For each of the images, a respective background sub-image is extracted from the image, the background sub-image is segmented into regions, and each of the regions is labeled with a respective color label. An image query is generated from a target color template. For each of the images, a respective score is calculated from the image query and the respective color model. At least one of the images is retrieved from an image collection based on the respective scores.

    摘要: In a method for image management, image data for an image containing objects is accessed. Graphical representations of the objects are generated and the centroids and the sizes of the graphical representations are determined. The locations of the centroids are determined and the morphologies of the graphical representations based upon the locations of the centroids are determined. Human readable lexical representations of the locations of the centroids, the sizes, the colors and morphologies of the graphical representations are assigned and are stored in a database, which is searchable through human readable lexicon.

    摘要: Systems and methods of automatically editing video data containing a sequence of video frames are described. Respective frame characterizing parameter values and respective camera motion parameter values are determined for each of the video frames. A respective frame score is computed for each of the video frames based on the determined frame characterizing parameter values. Segments of consecutive ones of the video frames are identified based at least in part on a thresholding of the frame scores. Shots of consecutive ones of the video frames having motion parameter values meeting a motion quality predicate are selected from the identified segments. An output video is generated from the selected shots.

    摘要: Metadata placeholders are used for distributed processing. The metadata placeholders are added to digital objects. The placeholders are filled with requests to perform certain downstream processing on the objects. The placeholders are at least partially empty so they can be filled in by nodes that perform the downstream processing.

    摘要: A sequence of steps for storing an image at a higher resolution in a rendering stage, and making a conversion of the image to a different asymmetrical print resolution. During the conversion corrections are made to avoid losing “on” pixels located on an eliminated row. In some embodiments, an initial narrowing step may occur along the axis of higher resolution and a final horizontal depletion may occur along a carriage scan axis.
