Abstract
In one example, an apparatus and method are provided for summarizing (or selecting a representative subset from) a collection of media objects. A method includes selecting a subset of media objects from a collection of geographically-referenced (e.g., via GPS coordinates) media objects based on a pattern of the media objects within a spatial region. The media objects may further be selected based on (or be biased by) various social aspects, temporal aspects, spatial aspects, or combinations thereof relating to the media objects and/or a user. Another method includes clustering a collection of media objects in a cluster structure having a plurality of subclusters, ranking the media objects of the plurality of subclusters, and selection logic for selecting a subset of the media objects based on the ranking of the media objects.
