Abstract:Semantic understanding based only on vision cues has been a challenging problem. This problem is particularly acute when the application domain is unconstrained photos available on the Internet or in personal repositories. In recent years, it has been shown that metadata captured with pictures can provide valuable contextual cues complementary to the image content and can be used to improve classification performance. With the recent geotagging phenomenon, an important piece of metadata available with many geotagged pictures is GPS information. We will describe a number of novel ways to mine GPS information in a powerful contextual inference framework that boosts the accuracy of semantic understanding. With integrated GPS-capable cameras on the horizon and geotagging on the rise, this line of research will revolutionize event recognition and media annotation.
