Abstract
The world of community integrated photo data on the Web challenges us to develop tools and techniques for the visual exploration of photos in terms of not only the imagery contents, but also the other information associated with the photos. In this paper, we investigate solutions for the visual exploration of photos in time and geospace. The three aspects of spatiotemporal photo data (which are: what - photo contents, where - geo-references, and when - time-references) are visually combined at various granularity levels to make an integrated visualization approach. In this way, we support tasks of interactively navigating and browsing through photo collections.
