TL;DR

The potential of applying graph theory measures of centrality to the network of movements extracted from sequences of georeferenced photo captures in order to identify interesting places and explore city structure is explored.

Abstract

We explore the potential of applying graph theory measures of centrality to the network of movements extracted from sequences of georeferenced photo captures in order to identify interesting places and explore city structure. We adopt a systematic procedure composed of a series of stages involving the combination of computational methods and interactive visual analytics techniques. The approach is demonstrated using a collection of Flickr photos from the Seattle metropolitan area.

Mapping the world's photos

777 Citations2009David Crandall, Lars Bäckström +2 more

This work uses the spatial distribution of where people take photos to define a relational structure between the photos that are taken at popular places, and finds that visual and temporal features improve the ability to estimate the location of a photo, compared to using just textual features.

A method for spatial generalization and aggregation of movement data, which transforms trajectories into aggregate flows between areas, and introduces local and global numeric measures of the quality of the generalization.

A conceptual framework is presented that describes in a systematic and comprehensive way the possible types of information that can be extracted from movement data and on this basis defines the respective types of analytical tasks.

Event-Based Analysis of People's Activities and Behavior Using Flickr and Panoramio Geotagged Photo Collections

105 Citations2010Slava Kisilevich, Miloš Krstajić +3 more

This paper defines several different tasks related to analysis of attractive places, points of interest and comparison of behavioral patterns of different user communities on geotagged photo data, and provides exploratory visual analysis environment, which allows the analyst to detect spatial and temporal patterns and extract additional knowledge from large geotagging photo collections.

The analysis of photographers' movements across the metropolitan area shows that most photographers' itineraries are short and highly localized, and sites that are regularly visited and already known as city landmarks are considered as potential attractions.
