Context data in geo-referenced digital photo collections

TLDR
The contextual metadata that is automatically assembled for a photograph, given time and location, is described, as well as a browser interface that utilizes that metadata.
Abstract
Given time and location information about digital photographs we can automatically generate an abundance of related contextual metadata, using off-the-shelf and Web-based data sources. Among these are the local daylight status and weather conditions at the time and place a photo was taken. This metadata has the potential of serving as memory cues and filters when browsing photo collections, especially as these collections grow into the tens of thousands and span dozens of years.We describe the contextual metadata that we automatically assemble for a photograph, given time and location, as well as a browser interface that utilizes that metadata. We then present the results of a user study and a survey that together expose which categories of contextual metadata are most useful for recalling and finding photographs. We identify among still unavailable metadata categories those that are most promising to develop next.

Can all tags be used for search

TL;DR: This paper is the first to present an in-depth study of tagging behavior for very different kinds of resources and systems - Web pages, music, and images - and compares the results with anchor text characteristics, and provides statistics on tag distributions in all three tagging environments.

Placing flickr photos on a map

TL;DR: Generic methods for placing photos uploaded to Flickr on the World map use the textual annotations provided by the users to predict the single most probable location where the image was taken to achieve at least twice the precision of the state-of-the-art reported in the literature.

Understanding photowork

TL;DR: The notion of "photowork" is introduced as the activities people perform with their digital photos after cap-ture but prior to end use such as sharing, and how "search" as it is usually defined may have much less relevance than new ways of browsing for the design of new digital photo tools.
