Aworldwide tourism recommendation system based on geotaggedweb photos
This work aims to build a system to suggest tourist destinations based on visual matching and minimal user input. A user can provide either a photo of the desired scenary or a keyword describing the place of interest, and the system will look into its database for places that share the visual characteristics. To that end, we first cluster a large-scale geotagged web photo collection into groups by location and then find the representative images for each group. Tourist destination recommendations are produced by comparing the query against the representative tags or representative images under the premise of ”if you like that place, you may also like these places“.
