Phorigami: A photo browser based on meta-categorization and origami visualization

Abstract

Phorigami is a photo browser whose meta-interface visualizes photos by groups according to the analysis of photo contexts. At the core of Phorigami, we proposed a meta-categorization for photo regrouping. This categorization method encompasses the scope of current or expected recognition technologies. Two experiments are conducted by manual classification tasks to study the pertinence of proposed categorization method. We then outline our meta-interface by applying different interaction technique to feature each photo group. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
