STELLA - Consumer Photo Clustering and Visualization

Project's Home Page | Current Research Areas > Multimedia Indexing and Content Management >



 

Summary

An interactive framework for organizing personal digital image collections. We introduce the detection of bracketing (two or more photographs of the same subject, made using different aperture/speed settings), and a novel clustering algorithm (based on Ward's algorithm) to exploit image sequence information in each roll of film. Images within a roll of film (and accross rolls) are clustered hierarchically and presented to the user, who modifies the clusters to organize his collection.
