abstract = {In this paper, we present an approach for presenting large, feature-rich pictures on small displays by generating an animation and subsequently a video from the image, as it could be taken by a virtual camera moving across the image. Our main innovation is the ability to build the virtual camera's motion upon a textual description of a picture, as from a museum caption, so that relevance and ordering of image regions is determined by co-analyzing image annotations and text. Furthermore, our system can arrange the resulting presentation in a way that it is synchronized with an audio track generated from the text by use of a text-to-speech system.},
