Digital Photo Shoeboxes
The Pros • Zoomable interfaces • Very fast thumbnail handling • Features: • Nice slide-shows • Web sharing • E-mail generation • ...
The Cons • Few attributes used (time, tags, folders, ...) • Limited annotations (text, no concepts) • One dimension at a time • Search ≠ browsing
OLAP • Useful for gaining new insights into data • Dimensions, slicing’n’dicing, pivoting
Computer Games • Successful at keeping users occupied • Three-dimensional navigation • Overview vs. details
PhotoCube • ObjectCube data model • C++ / MonetDB server • Python / Panda3D interface
Visual Tagging • Drag and drop
Similarity Browsing • Combining searching and browsing
Conclusions • PhotoCube = OLAP browser for photos • Current status: A working prototype • UTmessan on Saturday (see www.utmessan.is) • Demonstration at ICMR, Italy in April • Future work: • New analysis methods (face recognition, ...) • Presentation (aggregate groups, ...) • Browsing experience (similarity search, ...)
