Image metadata as a means to gather image relevant information
Randi Karlsen, Roger Bruun, Asp Hansen · 2012
This paper presents an approach for collecting image relevant information, where the goal is to provide the user with information about i) the object or event depicted in an image, and ii) the location where the image was taken. The approach aims at improving the image viewing experience by presenting supplementary information such as location names, tags, weather information, placement on map, geographically nearby images, Wikipedia articles and web pages. The information is automatically collected from various sources on the Internet based on the image metadata gps latitude/longitude values, date/time of image capture and a category keyword provided by the user. The paper describes a prototype system that demonstrates and tests the approach.
