Problems solved by technology

The problem with this approach is that it takes an appropriate amount of effort and creativity to create such an album
[0006] However, this approach still requires the user to decide which groups of images they wish to include in the album, which can be time consuming when, for example, there are a large number of groups of images

Embodiment Construction

[0035] refer to figure 1 , the device 100 comprises an input terminal 102 for inputting into a retrieval means 104 . The retrieval means 104 is connected to a storage means 106 for storing a plurality of images. The output of the retrieval means 104 is connected to the input of the divider 108 . The output of divider 108 is connected to the input of selector 110 , and the output of selector 110 is connected to the input of display 112 .

[0036] Retrieval device 104 retrieves a plurality of images from storage device 106 (step 202 ). Alternatively, the retrieval means 104 retrieves a plurality of images from an external storage means via the input terminal 102 .

[0037] Retrieval means 104 inputs the retrieved plurality of images to divider 108 , and divider 108 divides the images into clusters according to predetermined characteristics of their content (ie, using a content analysis algorithm) (step 204 ). For example, the divider 108 divides the images into clusters to b...

Abstract

A method of generating an image collection is described. A plurality of images are retrieved (step 202) and the images are divided into clusters according to a predetermined characteristic of the content of the images (step 204).At least one of the clusters is selected based on a number of images in each cluster (step 206).For each selected cluster, at least one image is selected on the basis of a predetermined criterion (step 208) and an image collection 5 comprising the selected images is generated (step 210).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device for generating a collection of images. Background technique [0002] Advances in digital imaging technology mean that digital cameras have become increasingly popular with consumers. As a result, ever increasing numbers of digital still images are being captured and stored on computers or other storage media. [0003] Some people now share their stored digital still images with others by using a computer screen or television. However, this method of sharing photos is very different from the traditional method of sharing actual printed photos in an album. [0004] So it's no surprise that creating digital photo books and printing them as booklets has become an increasingly popular method of sharing images. The problem with this approach is that it takes an appropriate amount of effort and creativity to create such an album. For example, one must pick which photos to select, how to display them, ...
