Abstract

In order to effectively manage photos in personal photo album and improve the efficiency of re-finding photos, the visualization of photo album has received attention. The most popular and reasonable visualization method is to display a representative photo of each photo cluster. We studied the characteristics of representative photos and then proposed a method of selecting the representative photos from a set of photos related to a specific event. The method mainly considered two aspects of photos: aesthetic quality and memorable factor. Aesthetic quality contains the area and location of the salient region and the sharpness of photo; memorable factors contain the salient people and text information. The experimental data sets are real-world personal photo collections, including more than 7,000 photos and more than 2000 specific events. The experimental results show the efficiency and reliability of selecting representative photos to visualization of photo album.
