Toward a platform for building and exploiting semantic annotation of photo taken with smart phone

Abstract

The rapid development of mobile computing, social network and smart phones have led to a surge in photograph data. Efficient exploiting, searching and reusing this data have become a problem gaining increasing concerns. However, current systems are still encountering many challenges from the differences in perceiving the meaning of a photograph between human and machines. Among many different approaches, semantic web has recently been proven to be robust enough to overcome these challenges. In this paper, we propose the semantic web approach to develop a system which reduces above differences by accommodating an additional layer that annotates metadata with the original photo to describe important and useful information for the user in both content and context semi automatically. We use a mobile application that connects with a semantic web application. With above solution, the interaction of user of the photograph system becomes simple, friendly and quickly more than ever.
