LugaReco: Mobile application for semantic recommendation of tourist points of interest using photographs

摘要

Tourism and pervasive computing go hand in hand in improving a tourist's experience when travelling, since mobile phone applications are now in vogue. We present LugaReco, an application for Apple iPhone which recommends points of interest to tourists based on photographs which they themselves have taken. Thanks to the use of photographs, recommendation queries are made easier and faster and prevent the tourist from having to describe their interests textually.
