Abstract
Photo slideshow is a popular method to demonstrate photo sets to a large number of people. It often covers a main topic, and contains the related characters or objects to tell people the story. For example, a wedding slideshow contains the photos of the groom and the bride. Audiences' attentions would be attracted by these objects. However, a photo may contains rich information, audiences' attentions could be distracted when watching a photo slideshow. Therefore, to produce a slideshow which specifically attracts audiences' attention toward the main characters or objects is challenging. In this extended abstract, we present the attention-oriented photo slideshow to address this challenge. Based on the observation that by smoothly connecting similar objects or characters (i.e., common object) in a photo slideshow, audiences' attentions could be effectively attracted toward them, our idea is to emphasize these objects or characters by smoothly connecting and transiting them between images. With our slideshow, audiences are more attracted to common objects that repetitively appear in the photo sets.
