Digital photos are estimated to be generated and uploaded to social image websites (e.g. Flickr) in the amount of 375 petabytes annually [Tueld et al.], and plenty of these photos are annotated with the creation time/date in EXIF information. Among these photos, a large number of images are geo-tagged (e.g. GPS and landmark names) to indicate where the photo was taken. Moreover, several public databases composed of pictures captured by live cameras at various locations are available on the internet. Therefore, it has become a crucial task to enable an intuitive and efficient way for users to browse large-scale photos in space and time.
