Mining tourist routes using Flickr traces
Gaël Chareyron, Jérôme Da-Rugna, Bérengère Branchet · 2013
This paper is about a new methodology to automatically rebuild main paths from Flickr's traces. Our geotagged image metadata's corpus allows the construction of each photographer's timeline. The tourist's itinerary in the destination can then be reconstructed considering two modes: the fastest path and the most likely path. Major paths are directly extracted from the fusion of all itineraries. To illustrate the multi-scale efficiency of this work, several fields of study are presented: Berlin, the Loire Valley and the Palace of Versailles.
