雲端儲存服務之照片分群系統

Abstract

在雲端時代的趨勢之下，可預期未來網路速度將大幅提升、儲存空間的成本也越來越低，加上智慧型行動裝置迅速地普及，讓許多網路的創新應用服務嶄露頭角，其中雲端儲存服務對於改變網路使用者的儲存行為躍躍欲試，許多網路使用者也傾向願意使用網路硬碟的雲端儲存服務，而偏分享性質的照片資料便是容易讓使用者接受的雲端儲存服務。 本研究期望改變使用者儲存照片的行為，驅使使用者將所擁有的照片全部存放至雲端儲存服務的空間之中，使用模式預設以智慧型手機為照片拍攝裝置，由本研究提供一個符合使用者管理習慣並且增加使用者體驗的照片分群系統作為雲端儲存服務。本研究分析使用者管理個人照片專輯的習慣，以自動分群為使用者整理照片，並結合雲端儲存服務的概念設計照片管理系統，分群方法利用時間及地理位置的資訊作為照片分群的基礎期待達到和使用者相同的整理效果，所有照片將顯示於結合相簿區域和地圖區域的瀏覽介面，增加使用者觀賞照片的使用體驗。

With the trend of cloud computing, the Internet speed increases dramatically and the cost of storage space gradually reduced. At the same time, smart phone is getting rapidly popular. Therefore, many innovative applications of Internet service have been developed. For Example, Cloud storage service is attempting to change the user's behavior of storage. Although this is a new model of behavior, many Internet users are willing to use a cloud storage service to store their files as a hard disk. Moreover, cloud photo storage service is more acceptable because of the photo-sharing feature. In this research, we expect to change user's behavior of photo management and prompt user to store all photos on cloud storage service. The usage pattern of the default device is smart phone, and then we provide a photo clustering system which is matching user's habits and increasing user's experience as a cloud storage service. This research analyzes the user's behavior of personal photo album management to use the automatic clustering method to organize photos for user. Also, this research combines the concept of cloud storage services to design a photo management system. The clustering method uses the factor of time and location to execute photo clustering. We expect that the clustering result is same as the result organized by user. All photos will be displayed on the interface combined by album regional and map regional to increase user's experience in photo browsing.
