We first parse the input text, decompose it into suitable units, and construct meaningful search terms. Using these search terms we retrieve a set of candidate images from online photo collections. We then select the final images in a user-assisted process and automatically create a storyboard or photomatic animation. We demonstrate promising initial results on several types of texts.encommunity photo collectionnatural language processingForschungsgruppe Capturing Reality (CARE)006conference paper
