ABSTRACT
This paper presents a new medium, called tiling slideshow, to display photos in a tile-like manner, coordinating with the pace of background music. In contrast to the conventional photo slideshow, multiple photos that have similar characteristics are well arranged and displayed at the same layout. Motivated by the concepts of technical writing, each displaying layout is composed of a larger topic photo and several small-size supportive photos. Based on this idea, the proposed tiling slideshow system consists of three major components: image clustering, music analyzer, and layout organizer. Given the limited displaying space, we consider the context and relationship between photos and model the layout organization as a constrainted optimization problem. Experiments on real consumer photograph collections show that the novel displaying method gives users more pleasant browsing experience than the methods that focus only on single photograph display.
