Abstract

We explore the potential of applying graph theory measures of centrality to the network of movements extracted from sequences of georeferenced photo captures in order to identify interesting places and explore city structure. We adopt a systematic procedure composed of a series of stages involving the combination of computational methods and interactive visual analytics techniques. The approach is demonstrated using a collection of Flickr photos from the Seattle metropolitan area.
