Leveraging community annotations for image adaptation to small presentation formats

In this paper, we describe an investigation into the use of community annotations of photos for creating zoom and pan animations that present a time linear view of the regions of interest. We describe the use of the notes feature of the Flickr photo sharing service, and describe the FlickrBrns system that leverages the metadata in Flickr to generate animation specifications for image adaptation and provides a web viewer and authoring controls for more precise specifications.
