Abstract
A geographic map is an important browsing tool for multimedia data that can include personal photos, but geographically correct maps are not always easy to use for that purpose due to the frequent zooming and panning, as well as the existence of extraneous information. This paper proposes a new user-interface concept for geo-tagged personal multimedia browsing in the form of a cognitive map. In addition, design criteria are defined and an auto-generation method is presented for this map. The proposed method produces a map represented as a clustered graph with vertices and edges in real time. It is visually compact, preserves geographical relationships among locations and is designed for both PCs and mobile devices. An experiment was conducted to test the proposed method with real-life data sets.
