Editor's Notes

  1. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/picasa/onlgmecjpnejhfeofkgbfgnmdlipdejbhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.clouddrive.photoshttps://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/photoshopelements/articles/lrvid2312_pse.htmlhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000828861https://www.apple.com/apps/iphoto/http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/design/frontline/product/kissx5/http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/725553/how-google-glass-could-change-video-games/http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/tablets/tablets.htmlhttp://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-10/23/memoto
  2. Photographic prints from different time periods have different, identifiable color signatures based on the distinct succession of chemical processing technologies, facilitating EXIF timestamp generation.
  3. The orientation of digitized photos can be detected and automatically corrected.
  4. Cities can be identified by far less than their most visually iconic landmarks. Photos from different European cities were successfully localized relying on seemingly trivial elements in the visual environment: lamp-posts, grating iron-work, door frames, etc.
  5. EXIF timestamps and the visual content of photos can be used to organize them into probable “events.”
  6. Extending recognition algorithms to examine other parts of the body aside from the face increases accuracy.
  7. Knowing which individuals are commonly in photos with which other individuals informs person recognition.
  8. Who an individual is connected to and interacts with on social networks can help narrow likely candidates for person annotation in photos.
  9. The angel from which the photo was shot relative to a vanishing point and the ground plane can be used to infer the height of the camera, which may provide insight into who the photographer was.
  10. Muse is a personal data mining application for e-mail that shows, among other things, the frequency of communications with different individuals and groups of people over time; perhaps something like it could be adapted for use with photos?
