Abstract

Lifelogging is the act of recording some aspect of your life in digital format. A basic and common form of lifelogging is the creation and maintenance of blogs, which are typically textual in nature, though often with multi-media elements. In this paper we are concerned with visual lifelogging, a new form of lifelogging based on the passive capture of photos of a person's experiences. We examine the nature of visual lifelogs, and the differences between visual lifelog photos and explicitly captured digital photos. This is done by examining a million lifelog photos encompassing a year of a visual lifelog from the life of one individual.
