Currently one of the main features of events such as birthday party, wedding, conferences, and trips is the amount of photos taken from different digital cameras. The plethora of photo devices such as smartphones and tablets have contributed for this avalanche of photos. Social networks such as Facebook, Orkut, Flickr, and Picasa store a large volume of photos. As a consequence, the retrieval of such photos demands new systems. The automatic annotation of photo context metadata such as timestamp, and geographic coordinates, represents a challenge. In this paper, we propose a method for automatic event detection based on photos taken from different cameras in a same event. The proposed method aims to improve the retrieval of photos in a same event, to make cross tagging and to detect errors in the annotations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
