Geo-clouds
Mohamad H. Salimian, Stephen Brooks, Derek F. Reilly · 2013
We propose a novel visualization system that uses geographic location combined with image and tag clouds to provide a tool for rapidly reviewing news stories laid over interactive maps. We review our techniques for processing news, extracting regions of interest from news images, and composing, packing and finally placing tags and images onto an underlying geographic map. We present a Canada-centric prototype that illustrates our system's approach.
