Modeling People and Places with Internet Photo Collections

Abstract

This article describes our work in using online photo collections to reconstruct information about the world and its inhabitants at both global and local scales. This work has been driven by the dramatic growth of social content-sharing Web sites, which have created immense online collections of user-generated visual data. Flickr.com alone currently hosts more than 6 billion images taken by more than 40 million unique users, while Facebook.com has said it grows by nearly 250 million photos every day.
