The start of Photo Memories
Senior Capstone

This project was assigned by Dr. Bonnie McVey-Pankratz for the CSCI 460 course. CSCI 460 is a necessary requirement in order for a computer science major to graduate with their degree. The page below describes the project in full detail, starting with the project description.

Project Description

Recently, DCP received mini photo albums. These “Memories” highlighted various Harley trips using photos stored on his iPhone without requesting them or making them himself.  With the seemingly unlimited memory available for storing photos, we tend to take numerous and redundant pics and would certainly not put all of them into a scrapbook or slideshow of the trip.  These collections of photo memories showed highlights of the trip, progression of the trip, and used only some of the photos taken on the trip.  How was this created? 

Develop an application that examines stored digital photos on a given device and creates a mini photo album with limited user-interaction.
