Abstract
A method and apparatus album multimedia using media albuming hints. The multimedia albuming method includes: extracting albuming hints from multimedia contents; describing the extracted albuming hint information in a predetermined description structure; generating a media descriptor by using the described albuming hint information; and albuming multimedia contents by using the media descriptor. According to the method and apparatus, digital multimedia, such as digital photos, music, and video data (moving pictures), may be albumed automatically or semiautomatically. Also, media albuming hints included in the present method and apparatus may be used such that the performance of albuming functions, such as indexing or clustering with semantic information of multimedia contents, may be enhanced. Furthermore, by reducing the complexity of calculations required for albuming, the albuming may be performed more efficiently.
