ABSTRACT:
In a computer implemented method of generating a collage of images, image saliency data is received for a plurality of images that are to be collaged within a templated viewing region. The templated viewing region is generated by scaling a template relative to the plurality of images that are to be collaged. An initial collage layout is generated within the templated viewing region from the plurality of images. The initial collage layout is optimized, where the optimizing comprises iteratively adjusting the initial collage layout by selecting a minimized layout occlusion cost.
