Abstract

In recent years, the spread of digital camera, the evolution of camera mounted on mobile terminal, and the increasing the capacity of storage media are progressing. According to a certain survey, more than 70% of travelers said that they take photographs actively, and then the number of the photographs owned by each user is increasing rapidly. However, it is often difficult to manage these photos by the user itself because the number of varieties of subject of photos on a journey is large in general. In this paper, we propose an image classification method by considering the characteristics of tourist photographs to facilitate the management the photos taken at tourist spots. In this study, we propose a method to classify photos into three categories, “person”, “landscape”, and “food”, because the number of tourist photographs belonging to these categories is a lot in general. The results of the verification experiment using 230 actual photos shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
