  • Automated Approach for the Importing the New Photo Set to Private Photo Album to Make It More Searchable
    УДК 004.855 DOI: 10.18523/2617-3808.2020.3.141-148 D. Nikulin, O. Buchko AUTOMATED APPROACH FOR THE IMPORTING THE NEW PHOTO SET TO PRIVATE PHOTO ALBUM TO MAKE IT MORE SEARCHABLE This paper focuses on describing several Informational Retrieval (IR) Multimedia Systems that work primarily with private photo albums and it provides comparison of IR Multimedia Systems in terms of functionality. The Informational Retrieval Multimedia systems, used for comparison are selected as the most known and widely used as well. The Informational Retrieval Multimedia systems compared are Mylio, Google Photo, Apple Photo, Synology Moments and digiKam. Moreover, based on these systems compari- son, this paper provides the definition of the end-point user needs. Then it provides the identification and the prioritization (based on the author’s experience and opinion) the issues in private information Retrieval multimedia systems to be addressed by any technical solution. The following issues have been addressed as the most important from the end-point user’s perspective: First of all, it is “Not existing EXIF file metada- ta”.(It is divided into two sub issues: not existing taken date and GEO data for place it was taken at); as second, the linking a photo to an author person entity (Based on camera brand and model given as metadata); And as the last one, linking the set of photos to the predefined type of event, like birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, trips etc.(Based on tagging the photos in semi-automated way). For each issue, this document has provided the technical approaches and program algorithms (in a pseudo code) as well.

  • How to Compare One Million Images?
    1/40 How to Compare One Million Images? Dr. Lev Manovich, Professor, Visual Arts Department, University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Director, Software Studies Initiative (softwarestudies.com) at California Institute for Telecommunication and Information (Calit2). Dr. Jeremy Douglass, Post‐doctoral Researcher, Software Studies Initiative. Tara Zepel, Ph.D. candidate, Art History, Theory, & Criticism, UCSD. Exploring one million manga pages on the 287 megapixel HIPerSpace (The Highly Interactive Parallelized Display Space) at Calit2, San Diego. HIPerSpace offers 35,840 x 8,000 pixels resolution (287 megapixels) on 31.8 feet wide and 7.5 feet tall display wall made from 70 30‐inch monitors. 2/40 INTRODUCTION The description of joint NEH/NSF Digging into Data competition (2009) organized by Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment of Humanities (the U.S. federal agency which funds humanities research) opened with these questions: “How does the notion of scale affect humanities and social science research? Now that scholars have access to huge repositories of digitized data— far more than they could read in a lifetime—what does that mean for research?” A year, later, an article in New York Time (November 16, 2010) stated: “The next big idea in language, history and the arts? Data.” While digitized archives of historical documents certainly represent a jump in scale in comparison to traditionally small corpora used by humanists, researchers and critics interested in contemporary culture have even a larger challenge. With the notable exception of Google Books, the size of digital historical archives pales in comparison to the quantity of digital media created by contemporary cultural producers and users – designs, motion graphics, web sites, blogs, YouTube videos, Flickr photos, Facebook postings, Twitter messages, and other kinds of professional and participatory media.
