CLAN Photo Presenter: Multi-modal Summarization Tool for Image Collections

Effective management of multimedia data is becoming vital for success in the modern era of omnipresent data. Summarization tools, which allow users to quickly get the gist of a given data collection and have proven their usefulness in text domain, are now gaining popularity also in multimedia processing. However, existing algorithms provide visual-only summaries for image collections, which are difficult to index and search. This paper introduces a prototype software tool that automatically creates multi-modal summaries of personal image collections by enriching the visual collage with keyword annotation. The result is presented as a web page that allows users to browse and share the summarized data.
