In this paper, I discuss the digital photo search and annotation problem, with ideas for solutions that incorporate natural language, direct manipulation, and leveraging a digital representation of the user’s social network. The social and technological implications of these ideas are also discussed.

OBJECTIVE We developed a Web-based, blinded, prospective, randomized, multicenter trial, using standardized digital photography to clinically evaluate hand burn depth and accurately determine wound area with digital planimetry. METHODS Photos in each center were taken with identical digital cameras with standardized settings on a custom backdrop developed at Wake Forest University containing ...

Recent developments in technology mean that it is becoming increasingly possible to support collaboration around digital photos. This makes an exploration of the existing collocated social practices that are associated with photos both timely and relevant. This workshop will explore social practices in the areas of photowork, photo sharing and photo displays, with the aim of drawing together cu...

In this chapter we describe the privacy issues surrounding the proliferation of digital imagery, in surveillance video, online photo-sharing, medical records and online navigable street imagery. We highlight the growing capacity for computer systems to process, recognize and index face images and outline some of the techniques that have been used to protect privacy while maintaining usefulness ...

The problem of real-time photorealistic imaging of digital terrain is discussed. New technique for specifying digital terrain by scalar perturbation functions without its approximation by polygons is considered. A recursive algorithm for object space subdivision with masking of invisible surfaces and an effective technique of projective transformation for perspective imaging are proposed. The p...

Digital and analogue printing methods are studied for reconstructing a Mayan decorative relief from the ancient temple of Jaguars. Height maps, image files encoding height information as intensity values, were produced in commercial editing software early 20th century photographic records. Physical was generated different materials through processes including casting embossing photo exposed pol...

We introduce the concept of hybrid widgets, which consist of a digital object on an interactive display surface, and a physical handle attached to it. We describe two implementations of this concept, both for the interaction with digital photo collections on an interactive tabletop, and discuss how the combination of a physical and a digital part in the hybrid widget supports interaction and so...

Recently, the number of digital contents is increasing rapidly with the progress of information technology. It has become important how we manage enormous digital contents effectively and utilize them efficiently. Up to now, a lot of techniques on digital content management have been proposed. One of the important objectives of the conventional management techniques is to search digital content...

Technological advances in digital photography have made it possible to acquire and store more pictures than ever before. Unfortunately this has led to massively sized photo collections that becomes difficult to browse. We propose a novel interface to facilitate browsing these large collections. Our approach hierarchically groups the photos, summarizes the groups as a tree of collages, and allow...
