Personalized Travel Navigation and Photo-Shooting Navigation Using Large-Scale Geotags

In this chapter, a geotag-based inter/intra-city travel and photo-shooting navigation system that considers both the personal preference and the seasonal/temporal popularity is presented. For the inter-city travel navigation, similarity among users is efficiently calculated by combining our visit pattern similarity and photo shooting pattern similarity. Accurate intra-city travel navigation is achieved by incorporating the seasonal and temporal information into a Markov model. Photo-shooting navigation by using large-scale geotagged photos is also presented. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms have been experimentally demonstrated by using more than millions of geo-tags and photos downloaded from Flickr.
