ABSTRACT:
In a computer implemented method of creating a collage of images, a first image is seeded into a viewing region to start the collage. A plurality of trial layout arrangements are provided with an additional image added to the collage. An occlusion cost is generated for a trial layout arrangement. The occlusion cost represents image saliency occluded and viewing region saliency occluded by the trial arrangement. An image is added to the collage, by updating the collage to reflect one of the trial layout arrangements for which the occlusion cost has been generated.
