Say you just got back from a long vacation and have hundreds of digital pictures. It would be handy to have a program that can automatically organize your photos from an digital date/time stamp embedded in each photo (see my date/time/location/orientation camera idea). If you have an electronic version
of your intinerary, the software could know where you took your picture (i.e. July 9th was planes of somewhere, so this picture would therefore be at the planes of somewhere Would also be nice if the software had 'good enough' face recognition, and would automatically orient the photos for displace (blue sky at the top, faces right-side up).

But what do you mean by autocaptioning? You haven't mentioned what the caption will say. |
|
|
At a previous job, I had the task of setting up all kinds of things for text-to-speech, so you could get e-mail, with attachments, over cell phone. A marketing type suggested - actually, demanded - that I TTS .jpg attachments, as well... |
|
|
[lurch]: Knowing how many words a picture is worth, would you not run out of space? Or did you offer to LZ-compress the speech so it came out mumbled? |

Actually, I offered him 24 hours to figure out why it was a bad idea. After that time, he would have a choice of being shot, or me telling everyone else in the company what he had requested. |
|
|
Some sweet soul explained it to him, and I didn't get to shoot anyone. Disappointing, really. |

When I say autocaptioning, I mean that the program reads your itinerary and then adds data to the digital photos based on what you were doing at that time. Say your itinerary reads thusly:
10 AM - Mt. Kilmanjaro.
12 Noon - Coffee at Mt. Kilmanjaro cafe.
1 PM to 3 PM - return to airport.
3 PM - Flight home. |
|
|
The program would then add text like : |
|
|
0001.jpg Mt Kilmanjaro
0002.jpg Mt Kilmanjaro
0003.jpg Mt Kilmanjaro
0004.jpg Coffee at Mt. Kilmanjaro cafe.
0005.jpg Coffee at Mt. Kilmanjaro cafe. |

You should have said that in the first place. Croissant 0001.jpg |
|
|
who has an itinerary that detailed ?? |
|
|
mine would read go on vacation001-500.jpg |
|
|
however I like the idea of auto orientating, (sky = top of pic). |
|
|
Well, Whenever I've gotten itineraries from travel agencies or tour organizers, they were pretty detailed. |
|
|
[lawpoop] you should consider noting in your post that "the program reads your itinerary". It makes all the difference. |
