Abstract

Location and route tracking is important for visitors and travelers, and it mainly depends on GPS information. However, GPS devices are not usually carried with by the travelers. Mobile phone with digital camera is the common standing item for people. We try to analyze the photos from mobile and compared to the known scenic, then predict the user location and accomplish the route tracking according the time and spatial information. In this paper, we choose our university as the scenic, and get good performance on daytime.
