Abstract
People take and share pictures in the mobile network. Through collecting and computing pictures with built-in contexts, Mobile Crowd Photographing (MCP) can give us a new way to see this world. This paper focuses on participatory picture collection, which is one way of MCP. Three characteristic issues of MCP are proposed, and then our recent work to solve these issues will also be demonstrated.
