VISUAL SUMMARIZATION METHODS FOR TIME-STAMPED IMAGES

Abstract:

Disclosed is an exemplary method of providing a visual summarization of a plurality of time-stamped annotated images. The method includes receiving the plurality of time-stamped annotated images. The plurality of time-stamped annotated images includes a plurality of object-based annotations. The method includes receiving an object of interest selection (OOI selection) corresponding to at least a first object-based annotation of the plurality of object-based annotations, thereby designating an object of interest (OOI). The method includes filtering the plurality of time-stamped annotated images, based at least in part on the OOI selection, to a subset of the plurality of time-stamped annotated images, thereby creating an object of interest image group (OOI image group). The method includes generating a visual timeline for concurrently displaying the OOI image group.
