As a part of the Tourist Information Provider (TIP)
system, this project focuses on creating a photo
gallery service in the TIP system, which allows users
to share, browse and categorize their photos. The
core of this project is to provide users a
location-based photo browsing. The system provides
photos which are taken in the current user's
location. We considered privacy control on photos
that users uploaded. A photo owner is able to sign an
access level to each of their photos and permit
different users to access them. We also considered
reusing resources. The system allows a user to use an
URL of a photo in the system in stead of uploading
the photo from the local computer. The system also
provides a URL of each photo in order to use the
photo on other web places, e.g., Blogs. We use tags
and photo metadata Exif to categorize photos.
