摘要： A system and method for generating a photobook are provided. The method includes receiving a set of images and automatically selecting a subset of the images as candidates for inclusion in a photobook. At least one design element of a design template for the photobook is automatically selected, based on information extracted from at least one of the images in the subset. Placeholders of the design template are automatically filled with images drawn from the subset to form at least one page of a multipage photobook. The exemplary system and method address some of the problems of photobook creation, thorough combining automatic methods for selecting, cropping, and placing photographs into a photo album template, which the user can then post-edit, if desired. This can greatly reduce the time required to create a photobook and thus encourage users to print photo albums.
