We have explored design opportunities to enrich the tourism experience of people at the Georgia Aquarium by providing a context of photos and by motivating people to be active creators of content to share their experiences with others. We designed a system named RevisiTour to enable visitors to reorganize photos taken from tour sites and share the photos with others. A visitor’s path and timest...

RÉSUMÉ. La démocratisation des appareils photo numériques et l’intégration de capteurs numériques dans les téléphones mobiles permettent à chacun de prendre de nombreuses photos. Or, des plateformes de partage de photos, telles que Panoramio et Flickr, offrent la possibilité de les stocker, de les étiqueter avec des tags et de les partager. Ainsi, plus de 4 millions de photos sont publiées sur ...

Face color enhancement is a very important issue in digital camera applications. However, to adjust photos appropriately is hard work to most light users. This paper suggests a general and automatic method to enhance the human face colors.

to identify critical sediment sources in large catchments, using easily available terrain information at a regionalscale, a methodology was developed to obtain a qualitative assessment necessary for environmental management.fargas et al method was employed in the research. the study was carried out in one of the sub-basins of hableh roodbasin called dehnamak in the arid and semiarid climate of ...

Personal photos are enjoying explosive growth with the popularity of photo-taking devices and social media. The vast amount of online photos largely exhibit users’ interests, emotion and opinions. Mining user interests from personal photos can boost a number of utilities, such as advertising, interest based community detection and photo recommendation.

Photos have been commonly used in our society to convey information, and the associated contextual information (i.e., the capture time and location) is a key part of what a photo conveys. However, the contextual information can be easily tampered or falsely claimed by forgers to achieve malicious goals, e.g., creating fear among the general public or distorting public opinions. Thus, this paper...

With the approaching start-up of the experiments at LHC, the urgency to quantify systematic uncertainties of the generators, used in the interpretation of the data, is becoming pressing. The PHOTOS Monte Carlo program is often used for the simulation of experimental, selectionsensitive, QED radiative corrections in decays of Z bosons and other heavy resonances and particles. Thanks to its compl...

The current study explores the phenomena of election propaganda photos. A political slogan is viewed as one most important ways for parties and candidates to communicate with voters, particularly when party identification declining. Political advertising in Iraq began use posters, flyers, other printed materials. present sheds light on how their audiences. It studies Iraqi photos from a pragmat...

In this paper we introduce an application that allows its users to have an explicit control on the meaning of tags they use when uploading photos on Flickr. In fact, this application provides to the users an improved interface with which they can add concepts to photos instead of simple free-text tags. They can thus directly provide semantic tags for their photos that can then be used to improv...

Consumers need help finding digital photographs in their personal collections. AutoAlbum helps users find their photos by automatically clustering photos into albums. The albums are presented in an easy-to-use browsing user interface. AutoAlbum uses the time and order of photo creation to assist in clustering: albums consist of temporally contiguous photos. The content-based clustering algorith...
