Design and evaluation of mobile-context-aware photo selection algorithms

Abstract

A mobile phone with a camera enabled people to capture moments to remember in the right time and place. Due to the limited user interface, however, a mobile phone is not able to become a place for enjoying captured moments, whose collection is becoming larger as the storage capacity of a mobile phone increases. We explored possible application scenarios to promote consumption of user-created multimedia on a mobile phone. For the prototype implementation of the scenarios, we designed algorithms for a mobile-context-aware photo selection, which in fact is a new engineering problem worth a further study. A user study was conducted with the built prototype for the evaluation of photo selection algorithms and for users`` acceptance about the application scenarios. We also received many valuable comments for better mobile-context-aware photo selection algorithms.
