Abstract: Operator-centric perception data-driven systems and techniques for managing and accessing personal media captured by a device while under the control of the operator. Operator perception data, for example, parameterizing a physiological state, attribute, or mood of the operator during a media capture event originating certain media data, is associated, as an additional input at media capture time, with subject-centric media data generated by the capture device. This association may then be subsequently stored to enrich the media data, and automate, or otherwise simplify post-capture access and processing of the captured media data.
