Picadomo: Faceted Image Browsing for Mobile Devices

Picadomo combines content-based image retrieval and faceted search on mobile devices. It is designed for finding images with desired visual properties, tags or other known metadata. Due to the limitations of mobile devices such as small screen sizes and low processing power, we had to carefully select the features that come in use (dominant color, GPS data, tags, etc.). With Picadomo the user can pick visualized facets directly via touch screen, while using very little screen size for the facet browsing navigation. We present our architecture, the facets used for image browsing, our new control concept and user experiments.
