• 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, ...)
