Abstract

This invention relates to creating a narrative description of media content. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method describes content of a group of images. The group of images includes a first image and a second image. A first object in the first image is recognized to determine a first content data. A second object in the second image is recognized to determine a second content data. Finally, a narrative description of the group of images is determined according to a parameterized template and the first and second content data.

Claims

1. A method for describing content of a group of images, the group of images including a first image and a second image, comprising:

(a) recognizing a first object in the first image to determine a first content data;

(b) recognizing a second object in the second image to determine a second content data; and

(c) determining a narrative description of the group of images according to a parameterized template and the first and second content data,

wherein at least one of the steps are performed on a computer.
