Jonathan Pickering Dissertation: Intelligent Camera Planning University of York 02

quick comments,

+ Nice literature review.
+ Good start at formalizing description of images
+ Alternative algorithms/approaches discussed
+ A different approach that takes into consideration perceptual as well as some affective variables.

- Doesn't look like it uses a detailed viewer model with emotions etc.
- Can't tell how it solves the constraints in real time
- No means of incorporating the rhetorical structure

... more as I read through it carefully.
