以空間感為導向之相片展示系統

Abstract

現代繁忙的社會裡，人們最喜歡在工作之餘透過旅行來放鬆身心， 而且常常會拍攝許多照片來留下紀念，當旅行結束後， 會瀏覽這些照 片來回憶旅行時的點點滴滴，為了讓人們在看照片時， 能更加真實的 回憶起當初旅行的感覺，本篇論文提出了一個系統(Photo Navigator)， 可以讓使用者彷彿進入照片中的世界，重新遊歷一遍旅行時經過的景 點一樣。此系統包含兩項主要特色，第一，能夠更好的呈現照片間的 空間關係， 以及更強的空間感帶給人們進入照片中的感受； 第二，傳 統3D立體技術較為複雜，本系統透過全自動化的處理， 讓一般使用者 也能很方便的使用。最後我們跟另外兩種相片展示系統（幻燈片秀、 微軟的產品PhotoStory）比較優缺點， 實驗結果顯示，使用者比較喜 歡使用本系統所呈現的效果。

Traveling has nowadays become a popular activity for people to relax their body and mind. Taking photos is then often an inevitable and frequent event during one’s trip. To satisfy the people’s desire to relive a wonderful travel they had in their photos, this paper presents a system, Photo Navigator, for enhancing the photo browsing experience by creating a realistic feel to users in browsing photos as being personally into the scenes and taking a trip back in time to revisit the place. The proposed system is characterized by two main features. First, it better reveals the spatial relations between photos and offers a strong sense of space by taking users to fly into the scenes. Second, it is fully automatic and plausible for normal users to access the 3D technologies that are traditionally complex to be manipulated. Our results are compared with those of two other browsing tools, i.e. photo slideshow and Microsoft’s PhotoStory. User studies show that people would comparatively appreciate the browsing style we proposed to present their traveling photos and the ease of use for practical applications.
