SenseCams作为生活记录工具有许多潜在的应用，包括用作记忆康复工具的可能性。鉴于SenseCam每年可以记录数十万张图像，因此以支持记忆康复目标的方式将这些图像呈现给观众至关重要。在这篇文章中，我们报告了一个软件浏览器，其目的是使用存储器的特性将SenseCam图像组织成一种形式，使存储在SenseCam上的丰富信息更容易访问。为了使大量的视觉信息被用户容易和快速地吸收，我们应用了一系列的自动内容分析技术，以结构的图像到“事件”，建议他们的相对重要性，并为每个选择代表性的图像。这可以最大限度地减少浏览和搜索时的工作量。我们提供了使用这样一个系统的轶事，并强调需要SenseCam图像进行有意义的排序使用这样的浏览器。
SenseCams have many potential applications as tools for lifelogging, including the possibility of use as a memory rehabilitation tool. Given that a SenseCam can log hundreds of thousands of images per year, it is critical that these be presented to the viewer in a manner that supports the aims of memory rehabilitation. In this article we report a software browser constructed with the aim of using the characteristics of memory to organise SenseCam images into a form that makes the wealth of information stored on SenseCam more accessible. To enable a large amount of visual information to be easily and quickly assimilated by a user, we apply a series of automatic content analysis techniques to structure the images into "events'', suggest their relative importance, and select representative images for each. This minimises effort when browsing and searching. We provide anecdotes on use of such a system and emphasise the need for SenseCam images to be meaningfully sorted using such a browser.
