Title
Photo navigator
Abstract
Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity for people to relax their body and mind. Taking photos is then of- ten an inevitable and frequent event during one's trip for recording the enjoyable experience. To help people to re- live the wonderful travel experience they had recorded in photos, this paper presents a system, Photo Navigator, for enhancing the photo browsing experience by creating a new browsing style with a realistic feel to users as being into the scenes and taking a trip back in time to revisit the place. The proposed system is characterized by two main features. First, it better reveals the spatial relations among photos and offers a strong sense of space by taking users to fly into the scenes. Second, it is fully automatic and makes plausi- ble for novice users to utilize the 3D technologies that are traditionally complex to manipulate. The proposed system is compared with two other photo browsing tools, ACDSee's photo slideshow and Microsoft's PhotoStory. User studies show that people would comparatively favor the browsing style we offer and appreciate the ease to create such a style.
