This paper describes PHOTOLAND, a system that visualizes hundreds of photos on a 2D grid space to help users manage their photos. It closely places similar photos in the grid based on temporal and spatial information. Most photograph management systems use a scrollable view based on a sequential grid layout that arranges the thumbnails of photos in some default order on the screen. Our system decreases drag and drop mouse interaction when they classify their photos into small groups comparing to the sequential grid layout. We conducted experiments to evaluate our system. They consider four features: space efficiency, temporal stability and spatial consistency between neighbor photos of the grid, and cluster similarity. Although PHOTOLAND decreases space efficiency, it improves other features compared to the sequential grid layout.
