The increased availability of electronic devices with multimedia capabilities has resulted in a dramatic growth in the usage of multimedia presentations. In this paper, we present a framework for automatic generation of layouts for multimedia presentations for different screen resolutions. We develop a heuristic to find the layout for a screen of given resolution in polynomial time. The heuristic achieves 92-98% performance compared with the exhaustive search for different screen sizes. The execution time of the heuristic is as low as 15 seconds for a presentation of 100 media files whereas the exhaustive search takes an average of 6 hours.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
