Adaptive photo collection page layout (WA-P7)

Author(s) : Clayton Atkins (Hewlett-Packard Labs, USA)

Abstract : This paper presents a new photo collection page layout that attempts to maximize page coverage without having photos overlap. Layout is based on a hierarchical partition of the page, which provides explicit control over the aspect ratios and relative areas of the photos. We present an efficient method for finding a hierarchical partition that produces a photo arrangement suitable for the shape of the page. Rather than relying on a stochastic search we employ a deterministic procedure that mimics the natural process of adding photos to the layout one by one.
