Abstract: A method for viewing a collection of images or videos, includes analyzing the collection to determine properties of the images or videos and using the determined properties to produce icons corresponding to such properties; providing a time-varying display of the images or videos in the collection following an ordering of the images or videos in the collection and at least one of the corresponding icons; receiving a user selection of an icon; and changing the display of the images or videos in the collection following a reordering of the images or videos in the collection in response to the user selection.

Abstract: A method for replacing a face in a first digital image with a face from a second digital image including automatically detecting one or more faces in the first digital image; identifying at least one target face from the detected faces that needs to be replaced; automatically detecting one or more faces in the second digital image; identifying at least one source face from the second image detected faces for replacing the target face; using features from the target and source faces to perform facial geometry and appearance corrections to the source face; and replacing the target face with the corrected source face and blending the corrected source face into the first digital image.

Abstract: A method of generating a multimedia disc. The method includes the steps of: accessing a plurality of digital still images; generating a single MPEG bitstream comprising at least one of the plurality of digital still images; accessing the at least one of the plurality of digital still images; creating a description file defining a file structure comprising the MPEG bitstream and the at least one of the plurality of digital still images; interpreting the description file to generate a disc image of the multimedia disc; and generating the multimedia disc using the disc image.
