-
designating a media collection; using a processor to cluster the media collection items into a hierarchical event structure; using the processor to identify and count visually similar sub-events within each event in the hierarchical event structure; using the processor to determine a ranked list of events based on the count of sub-events within each event; using the processor to calculate a target distribution that is based on the distribution of one or more event attributes of the events derived from the media collection; and selecting events from the ranked list of events based on the calculated target distribution. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
