Abstract

Mobile devices are undergoing considerable progress during recent years. Using these portable devices, people can easily capture and share photos even when they are on the move. Doubtlessly, browsing a large number of images on such small-form-factor devices is still hard and time-consuming, especially when they are distributed across various devices. In this paper, we propose a novel synchronized approach to facilitate image browsing across multiple devices. In this approach, similar images across multiple devices can be simultaneously presented for users to make comparatively viewing or searching. Experimental results show that the synchronized approach is beneficial to improve users' browsing experience.
