ABSTRACT
This paper describes PHOTOLAND, a system that visualizes hundreds of photos on a 2D grid space to help users manage their photos. It closely places similar photos in the grid based on temporal and spatial information. Most photograph management systems use a scrollable view based on a sequential grid layout that arranges the thumbnails of photos in some default order on the screen. Our system decreases drag and drop mouse interaction when they classify their photos into small groups comparing to the sequential grid layout. We conducted experiments to evaluate our system. They consider four features: space efficiency, temporal stability and spatial consistency between neighbor photos of the grid, and cluster similarity. Although PHOTOLAND decreases space efficiency, it improves other features compared to the sequential grid layout.

A web-based photo management system for large photo collections with user-customizable quality assessment
SAC '11: Proceedings of the 2011 ACM Symposium on Applied ComputingThe affordability of digital cameras, storages, processors and the advances in these areas are encouraging people to take hundreds of photos at once. However, managing the large number of photographs involves arduous tasks such as selecting good quality ...
A hierarchical photo visualization system emphasizing temporal and color-based coherences
Most photograph management systems use a scrollable view based on a sequential grid layout that arranges photo thumbnails in some default order on the screen. Although users are very accustomed to this kind of photo layout, multiple drag and drop mouse ...
Digital photo classification methodology for groups of photographers
Digital cameras have become an essential product when traveling or attending events. Because of its popularity and low cost, it is increasingly likely that more than one camera will be used at an event. The total number of photos captured is also ...
