“…Aesthetic This category regards the desired outcome after the ranking, i.e., the media gallery that illustrates a given event and its atmosphere. Studies exist for the aesthetics of automatic photo book layout [1], photo aesthetics per se [2], video and music playlist generation [5,3], however media gallery composition requires mixing video and image media items.…”

“…This approach was integrated to Snapfish, the HP photo sharing site 2 [HP], from the magic photo book project, 3 which allows also flexible interactivity in addition to the algorithmic layout creation. In our layout part, we basically exploit our work [Sandhaus and Boll 2011] where many esthetical rules such as the ones described by Lidwell et al [2003] where formalized and used as evaluation functions in a genetic algorithm to automatically create an appealing layout.…”

Photos are a special way to tell stories of our best memories and moments. The representation of those photos in appealing physical photo books is highly appreciated by many people. Today, many photos are shared via social networking sites, where people upload their photos and share their stories with their friends. The members of social networks comment on each other's photos, add tags or descriptions and upload new photos of the same events to their albums. While the media of different personal events are available on the social network, there is no easy way to collect and bundle them into a story and print this story as a photo book. We propose an approach to automatically detect media elements that match a query (where, when, what, who) in the user's social network and intelligently arrange and compose them into a printable photo book. We combine content analysis of text and images to automatically and semi-automatically select photos of a specific story. We calculate the probabilities of each two photos to belong to the same event using an Expectation-Maximization algorithm that we propose in order to be able to retrieve them easily when receiving the user queries, and we address the differences between our model and other models that use similar proposed algorithms. People's tags and the interaction between the users and the photos as well as other semantic information are exploited to select important photos that are suitable to create the photo book. The selected photos and derived semantics are then employed to automatically create an appealing layout for the photo book.

“…Our work also builds upon relevant research on computational aesthetics, particularly aesthetics assessment [25]- [30]. Aesthetic rules have also been used in a range of multimedia authoring applications, such as photo book layout [31], [32], image composition [33], [34], video summarization [35], and collage synthesis [36].…”

Abstract-Stereoscopic displays are becoming ubiquitous, ranging from large 3-D TVs to small mobile phones. Stereoscopic photos need to be carefully adapted to be effectively viewed on the displays other than originally intended. In this paper, we present a method that can automatically crop and scale an existing stereoscopic photo to a variety of displays while preserving its aesthetic value. We formulate stereoscopic photo adaptation as an optimization problem that aims to preserve the aesthetic value of the input photo. We define a wide range of energy terms to preserve the stereoscopic photo aesthetics by borrowing rules from stereoscopic photography. Our experiments on a wide variety of stereoscopic photos demonstrate that our method can robustly produce display-dependent stereoscopic photos that deliver pleasant viewing experiences.
