Nowadays, there are available extremely large collections of images located on distributed and heterogeneous platforms over the web. The proliferation of billions of shared photos has outpaced the current technology for browsing such collections, but at the same time it spurred the emergence of new image retrieval techniques based not only on photos' visual information, but on geo-location tags and camera exif data. Although, additional image information may be proven very useful for preliminary image retrieval, the final retrieved result is necessary to be refined by exploiting visual information.
