Abstract
Increasing quantities of images are indexed by GPS coordinates. However, it is difficult to search within such pictures. In this paper, we propose a solution to automatically generate captions (including place name, keywords and summary) from the web content based on image location information. The richer descriptions have great potential to help image organisation, indexing and search. The solution is realised through the synergetic techniques from Geographic Information System, Web IR and multi-document summarisation. Copyright 2010 ACM.
