Arranging Images Into Pages Using Content-based Filtering And Theme-based Clustering
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method executed by a computer of arranging images into pages, comprising:
- receiving images captured by at least one imaging device;
applying content-based filtering for removing at least one of the received images if at least one filtering criterion is satisfied to produce a collection of the images;
performing theme-based clustering of the images in the collection to produce plural clusters of images, wherein the plural clusters of images are associated with respective themes that are based on time and at least one other attribute that provides an indication of thematic similarity between the images; and
mapping the plural clusters of images to respective pages of an output representation.

Abstract
To arrange images into pages, images captured by at least one imaging device are received. Content-based filtering is applied for removing at least one of the received images to produce a collection of the images. Theme-based clustering is then performed on the images in the collection to produce plural clusters of images, where the plural clusters of images are associated with respective themes that are based on time and at least one other attribute that provides an indication of thematic similarity between the images. The plural clusters of images are mapped to respective pages of an output representation.

13. A computer system comprising:
-
a storage to store images; and a processor to; produce a set of images by applying content-based filtering to the stored images such that at least one of the stored images is removed from the set if at least one filtering criterion is satisfied; generate plural clusters, wherein each cluster includes at least one of the images in the set, wherein the plural clusters are generated based on a time attribute of the images in the set and further based on at least one other attribute that provides an indication of thematic similarity between the images in the set; and output the images of the clusters to corresponding pages of an output representation. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
