Abstract

It has never been so easy to take pictures, and personal image collections have never been so large. Unfortunately, most current photo browsers provide very limited support for effectively navigating image collections. This demonstration proposal describes PhotoCube, a personal image browser based on a multi-dimensional data model similar to the model used in OLAP applications. With PhotoCube, users can tag pictures, structure tags into various hierarchies, and browse images according to any possible perspective. We also describe three demonstration scenarios that show the power, flexibility and scalability of PhotoCube.
