    摘要: An albuming method includes the automatic adaptation of the page layout of a plurality of images to a boundary condition of an event. The method includes the steps of receiving a plurality of images having event-determining information that relates to one or more events to which the images pertain and the generation of an event boundary based on the on the event-determining information. The images for each event are then laid out into a page format adapted to the event boundary determined for that event. For example, if the page format is determined to have a maximum number of images per page, and if the number of images remaining for the last page are fewer than the maximum number, the page layout of the last or more pages of the event is automatically adapted to the event boundary by, e.g., adjusting the arrangement of the pictures on the last page.

    摘要: A method for determining an estimated clutter level of an input digital image based on an inequality index. The inequality index is determined by analyzing the input digital image to determine a set of image features. The image features are associated with a set of designated reference features, and the inequality index is determined based on the statistical variation of the reference features. A set of scene content features relating to spatial structures or semantic content of the input digital image is determined by analyzing the input digital image. The estimated clutter is determined responsive to the inequality index and the scene content features.

    摘要: A method for determining a semantic concept classification for a digital video clip based on a grouplet dictionary that includes a plurality of temporally-correlated grouplets. The temporally-correlated grouplets include textual codewords and either visual codewords or audio codewords, wherein the codewords in a particular temporally-correlated grouplet were determined to be correlated with each other based on analysis of a set of training videos. Reference video codeword similarity scores are determined for a set of reference video clips, and codeword similarity scores are determined for the digital video clip. A reference video similarity score is determined for each reference video clip representing a similarity between the digital video clip and the reference video clip based on the reference video codeword similarity scores, the codeword similarity scores, and the temporally-correlated grouplets. One or more semantic concept classifications are determined using trained semantic classifiers responsive to the determined reference video similarity scores.
