METHOD FOR CREATING VIEW-BASED REPRESENTATIONS FROM MULTIMEDIA COLLECTIONS
First Claim
1. A method of creating one or more view-based representations from a set of multimedia objects comprising:
- using a processor to analyze the multimedia objects and corresponding recorded metadata to generate derived metadata;
applying a selected method to analyze recorded and derived metadata;
ordering and grouping the set of multimedia objects according to said analysis;
prioritizing the set of multimedia objects according to said analysis;
selecting a specific output modality; and
generating a view-based representation of the set of multimedia objects for the selected modality.

Abstract
A system that is capable of generating a multiplicity of representations from a set of multimedia objects, each with a potentially different form, is disclosed. In addition, a system that is capable of generating representations that include thematic groupings in addition to the traditional purely sequential groupings is disclosed. Analysis of metadata to generate derived metadata creates a more comprehensive repository of information about media assets. Using the abundance of metadata, embodiments of the methods disclosed teach uniquely grouping and prioritizing media assets into a storyboard, which is in turn mapped onto view-based representations based on a selected output modality.

33. A method of grouping and prioritizing media assets in a multimedia collection comprising:
-
apply a frequent itemset mining method to compute one or more sets of thematic groupings of the media assets, wherein the thematic groupings are constrained by one or more feature descriptors belonging to one or more feature categories; and computing an asset priority score for every asset in each of the one or more sets of thematic groupings, wherein the asset priority score is a function of the one or more feature descriptors.
