An Exploration Tool for Retrieval of Travel Information with Personal Photos (2112.10012v1)

Abstract: Photos can be treated as life logs of photo owners. Photos can be reliable information to estimate patterns of actions and movements of the owners. Based on this discussion, we are developing an interactive technique to explore the recommended tourist spots based on their past personal travel photos. The technique extracts a set of keywords from the photo set applying a generic object recognition and constructs a tree structure to support the exploration of the keywords. When a user selects a set of interesting keywords, the system provides travel information related to the selected keywords. Our previous paper already introduced the visualizations that demonstrate the appropriateness of the structure of the keywords. This paper focuses on the mechanism for interactive travel information retrieval of our system and user evaluations with this system.
