In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility of predicting people’s hometowns by using their geotagged photos posted on Flickr website. We employ Kruskal’s algorithm to cluster photos taken by a user and predict the user’s hometown. Our results prove that using social profiles of photographers allows researchers to predict the locations of their taken photos with higher accuracies. This in ret...

When news breaks about relatively unknown people, news media sometimes turn to social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace to find photographs of the subject, as was the case with the woman connected to former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer when his name turned up in a prostitution probe. However, posting photos on social media does not make them public domain, and copyright holders m...

this study is an attempt at examining staged photography series “by an eye witness” by azadeh akhlaghi. in these photos, historical events were reconstructed by staged photography and a reflection of the photographer's attitude towards the moments of death, murder, and burial of the people who made turning points in the contemporary history of iran could be observed. in this series two typ...

Digital photos are very popular on the Internet; unfortunately, unauthorized distribution and use of these photos is very common. To prevent unauthorized use, an author can place a watermark on the image, but this technology has not been implemented in an embedded system. Without an instant watermark and encryption option on digital cameras and e-albums, the user must manipulate online photos w...

3D face reconstruction from Internet photos has recently produced exciting results. A person’s face, e.g., Tom Hanks, can be modeled and animated in 3D from a completely uncalibrated photo collection. Most methods, however, focus solely on face area and mask out the rest of the head. This paper proposes that head modeling from the Internet is a problem we can solve. We target reconstruction of ...

Face hallucination has been well studied in the last decade because of its useful applications in law enforcement and entertainment. Promising results on the problem of sketch-photo face hallucination have been achieved with classic, and increasingly deep learning-based methods. However, synthesized photos still lack the crisp fidelity of real photos. More importantly, good results have primari...

The traditional mapping on digital aerial photos and elevation models has its limits at steep slopes where the surface is only very sparsely sampled even in high resolution data sets. As a consequence, there is too few information available to perform a detailed mapping. In this paper we present a framework for augmenting terrain data with additional photos and show how to utilize this addition...
