Abstract
Generally, most people use the photo management method which clusters lots of photos into each folders according to photo shooting time and date. However, since the number of photos to manage is getting more increasing, it takes much time and burdensome work. This paper describes PHOTOLAND, a system that visualizes hundreds of photos on a 2D grid space to help users manage their photos. It closely places similar photos in the grid based on temporal and spatial information. Most photograph management systems use a scrollable view based on a sequential grid layout that arranges the thumbnails of photos in some default order on the screen. Our system decreases drag and drop mouse interaction when they classify their photos into small groups comparing to the sequential grid layout. We conducted experiments to evaluate temporal coherence and space efficiency.
