Application for the analysis and browsing of images — Use case: A public photo archive

Automatic tagging and content-based image retrieval have been studied extensively in the past decades, although for a long time there were very few practical implementations targeted at end-users. Today, there are several commercial products for automatic image annotation, but still, in many cases, the applications have remained closed source, and no comprehensive open source solution exists. This paper presents a real-life use case of the analysis of a publicly available photo archive. The use case is used to illustrate the data format utilized in the indexing and searching of the analysis results. Furthermore, the user interface of the designed web application used for browsing the photo content is presented in this paper.
