Abstract

An intelligent travel experience management system, abbreviated as ITEMS, is proposed to help tourists organize and present the digital travel contents in an automatic and efficient manner. Readily available metadata are adopted to reduce the overhead of user intervention and manual annotation. Robust image similarity metrics are also incorporated to utilize the powerful searching capability of WWW search engines. The proposed system automatically identifies the inherent geo-information of personal media, and accordingly integrates media with map and text-based schedule to facilitate travel experience management and presentation. We show several prototype systems in two application scenarios and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
