iSlideshow: a Content-Aware Slideshow System
Jiajian Chen, Jun Xiao Gao
IUI 2010 - Hong Kong
Summary
A software tool for viewing slideshows in a content aware manner is detailed throughout this paper. The software has two major modes. One mode focuses on grouping similar photos into theme clusters and then displaying them together. The other mode uses facial recognition to focus on a particular individual. Artifacts like the time the picture was taken is also considered. A method for seamless tiling of images is also described. Transitions make use of the facial recognition feature for an added effect. A pilot user study indicated high marks in experience, fun, and acceptance in comparison to other slideshow systems.
Analysis
This was a simple implementation project that really isn't much more than combining a few existing technologies into a nice ascetically pleasing package. With that said, I think it was probably a very fun project to work on and very satisfying. As a person interested in video, animation, and anything related I always enjoy seeing the more creative work like this come to life. This project has a few contributions in terms of OpenGL use for transitions but that's about it. A very nice implementation.
