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.}, keywords = {image adaptation, text parsing, image annotation, digital cultural heritage, computer animation}, language = {EN}, talktype = {none}, url = {http://intermediaschool.miralab.unige.ch/} }
