Similarly, mechanisms for allowing the user to select or adjust layouts will also be optionally provided on a page by page basis.
  • Certain parameters may optionally be used to simplify the production of a layout.

  • a Layout is achieved by iterating through all the Sort Orders of an Input Set of Elements and creating every possible relative positional permutation.
  • the Input Set is positioned in a 'Branched' layout, and at its simplest, the Input Set is positioned in a 'Linear' layout.
  • the Branch order positions Elements in the Input Set relative to other Elements in the Input Set. Once all Permutations have been created, each Element will have been positioned relative to all other Elements in the Input Set.

  • Fig. 4 illustrates the initial steps of a process for generating all of the possible permutations of positions of Elements A, B and C relative to one another, using branch ordering, when (for simplicity in the example) only four relative positions are allowed between each pair of elements.
  • the SLA starts in step #101 by assigning Element A an arbitrary position, and assigning Elements B and C a first position relative to A. In this case Elements B and C are superimposed and this permutation will ultimately be discarded, however in cases where Element sizes are unequal, overlapping images might be allowed; •
  • Element B remains in the same location as in step #101 but

  • Step #105 Element B is moved to a new position and Element C moves again to its first position relative to Element A (i.e. it's position in step #101); • Element C is then moved to the other positions relative to Element A as seen in steps #106, #107 and #108;
  • Step #109 Element B is moved to yet another new position and Element C moves again to its first position relative to Element A (i.e. it's position in step #101);
  • Branch technique will create many duplicate Layouts. While methods will be discussed later for avoiding duplication, the simplest means of reducing the number of Permutations is to use Linear Order positiom ' ng. Note however that linear ordering will miss some layouts produced by branch ordering.
  • a Linear Order positions every Element in the Input Set relative only to the previous Element in the Input Set. By definition, all the possible Linear Order Layouts will be created using the Branch technique. The Linear order is given special notoriety because it is the simplest optimisation for the SLA.
  • N is the number of Elements in the
  • R is the number of available relative positions.
  • the SLA is concerned with spatial positioning of Elements and most commonly will be concerned with the optimal use of the Available Space - the area into which the Layout must fit. In such cases, while running through all the Permutations, if a Layout is created that has no colliding Elements, the Layout is recorded, and if a collision of Elements is detected, then the Layout is disregarded. A collision is defined as being when 2 Elements touch or overlap, or if required, being within a predetermined proximity of each other.
  • the SLA can be used in the reverse way where only collisions are recorded. This depends on the desired Layouts in the Results list. For the purposes of the present description, only the former case will be considered where collisions are disregarded.
  • the SLA returns a Results list. This contains all the information required to recreate any of the Layouts. Initially, the list will be potentially large and many of the layouts will not meet the objectives of using the Available Space efficiently and of being aesthetically pleasing, so the list must now be sorted in order to prioritise the success of these attributes.
  • Any such criteria can be stored or calculated in real-time and used to sort the Results in order to determine the success of a Layout relative to the others.
  • the priority of such criteria, or the order in which they are used, gives the SLA the ability to push different Results to the top of the Results list.
  • the SLA may choose the top layout of the prioritised set or it may randomly choose one of the top N Layouts and return the details to the program to draw the Layout. If the SLA is offering up more than one Layout for the user to choose from, then the list of layouts is returned to the program so that the desired number of Layouts can be drawn to the screen, and from which the user may choose one.
  • the Elements in an Input Set that is processed by the SLA can have attributes automatically or manually assigned to them that can then be used as part of the Layout process. For example, the user might be given the opportunity to set a relative size for each Element, so that when the Input Set is processed, the Elements' original sizes will be ignored and the new sizes based on the user's settings.
  • the Sort Order of the Input Set can be determined according to any number of attributes associated with the Elements in the Input Set, whether the attributes are inherent to the Elements or manually set by the user. For example, the Input Set could be sorted according a relative size setting as assigned by the user, and then only one Sort Order passed to the SLA. If using Linear Ordering, this would create Layouts that tend to group larger Elements with other larger
  • Elements which are deemed similar by the SLA can be considered as identical with the aim being aesthetically pleasing results. For example, if Element B is being placed to the right of Element A with the top edges aligned, and the SLA detects that their heights are relatively similar, then the SLA can force B to have the same height as A, making the bottom edges also be aligned and creating a more aesthetically pleasing Layout.
  • the Sort Order may be adjusted by the user after the layout has been produced in order to retain a preferred Layout produced by the SLA but with the Image
  • the positioning of subsequent Elements could be relative to more than one other element.
  • an image Element could be placed so that it is positioned relative to the combined width or height of 2 or more previously placed Elements or positioned relative to the edges or centres of 2 or more previously placed Elements.
  • the SLA will be controlling the size of an Element in the Layout, it can look for occasions where the size of an Element isn't suitable. For example, with digital photos, it is possible to enlarge them to a point where they become pixelated. The SLA can watch for such occurrences and reduce the size of such an element to avoid pixilation.
  • Predetermined or dynamic spacing can be introduced to separate the Elements in the Layout.
  • the spacing can be fixed or determined by attributes of the Elements, and will determine how much space is between the Elements in the Available Space.
  • the spacing may be identical for all relative positions or could vary for each placement. The spacing could be negative so that all or some of the images are laid out intentionally overlapping.
  • the SLA may create the same layout more than once based on a single Input Set.
  • a Layout is about to be added to the Results list, a test can be performed to see if that Layout already exists, and if so, the new Layout is ignored.
  • Another simple and effective optimisation is to limit the Relative Positions available to any combination of Elements in the input set. For example, a limitation could be added so that the second Element in the Input Set can only ever be placed to the right of, or underneath the first Element in the Input Set. This gives a great reduction in the time for all permutations to be created, yet it doesn't limit the Results list greatly.
  • the software can dynamically adjust any or all of the SLA' s parameters according to a set of criteria in order to decrease the number of possible outcomes.
  • the SLA can be run so that it only considers these more predictable layout orders. For example, the SLA could use only Linear Order positioning when more than a predefined number of Elements are in the Input Set.
  • Photo-book image layout software applies the SLA in two ways. o
  • the user can arrange many images into groups that determine which photos end up together on pages, then the SLA goes through all the permutations for all the pages, then randomly selects one of the best 5 results for each page.
  • the user can open a window that displays the best 20 or so resulting permutations for a single set of images on a given page, and then select the layout they prefer.
  • the SLA is the same in both of these cases, however the way it is implemented differs. The difference is in the way that the set of images are passed to the SLA, and the way that the results are provided back to the user.
  • the two approaches can be described as: o A single automatically selected result for each set of multiple sets of input elements. o Multiple results provided for manual selection for one set of input elements.
  • the photo-book image layout software may be provided to customers of a service provider (such as a publisher, photographic laboratory or mini-lab etc), whereby the customer may group their images into pages and layout the images on each page using the photo-book software.
  • the customer then generates an output file containing all of the image and layout information and transfers the output file to the service provider.
  • the transfer may be achieved by transmitting the file over the internet or via a dedicated dial-up connection.
  • the file may be recorded on physical media such as a floppy disk, a CD Rom or a recordable DVD and transported to the service provider.
  • the service provider then prints one or more copies of the images using the layouts specified by the customer and assembles the printed pages into the book or other document or product in accordance with the customer's instructions.

Abstract

Un ensemble d'éléments d'images est placé dans un espace d'images par sélection d'un premier élément d'images (A) parmi l'ensemble d'éléments d'images (A, B, C) pour occuper une position fondamentale, et par placement des éléments d'images restants (B, C) dans des positions relatives à la position fondamentale (101) et/ou relatives aux éléments d'images précédemment placés, pour former une première mise en page ou une première permutation d'éléments d'images. Le même procédé est répété pour d'autres mises en page ou permutations (102-109, 201-209) jusqu'à ce que toutes les permutations possibles soient générées. Les mises en page ou les permutations sont alors ordonnées selon un ensemble de règles et une mise en page est sélectionnée parmi un sous-ensemble occupant les premières positions dans les mises en page ordonnées proposées comme sélection préférée. Le sous-ensemble de mises en page occupant les premières positions dans les mises en page ordonnées peut également être proposé pour une sélection manuelle d'une mise en page préférée.
