Photo Collage
AutoCollage (SIGGRAPH 2006)
- intro: “Autocollage defines different energies to encourage the selection of a representative set of images, select particular object classes, and encourage a spatially efficient and seamless layout. The optimization is divided into a sequence of steps: from static ranking of images, through region of interest detection, optimal packing by the branch-and-bound algorithm, and lastly graph-cut alpha expansion. The core packing algorithm is limited; for example, user interaction cannot be integrated. The packing algorithm cannot deal with images with multiple salient regions which are assigned different weights. Further, the blending still may bring artifacts on the boundaries of different images.”

Video Tapestries
Digital Tapestry (MSR. CVPR 2005)
- intro: “formulates the selection of salient regions and their placement together as a Markov random field (MRF) problem. Each image is represented as a set of blocks, and the multiple-class labeling problem with non-metric constraints is optimized by “truncating” the non-regular energy. However, artifacts are also introduced along the boundaries of neighboring salient regions coming from two different images in digital tapestry, although some artifact removal methods can be used”
