AutoCollage 2008 is a program that merges images together. It can be a useful tool for summarizing events with relatively little effort. Everything is done automatically. The user does not have much to do, and do not have much control. This video shows how Microsoft AutoCollage 2008 was used to produce a collage from a collection of photos. The software makes use of many research results. I focus on its use of constraint satisfaction.
