Development of Potential-of-Interest Maps Using Tourists'Photo-Shooting Location Data and Their Application to Tourist Information Service

利用游客在在线照片分享网站上传的照片数据，我们开发了潜在的兴趣地图，该地图可视化了许多游客因某些原因而感兴趣的地点。我们还开发了一个移动的旅游信息工具的基础上的潜在的利益地图，并通过用户测试，检查其有用性。此外，我们开发了几个过滤器，区分与其他旅游相关的照片，我们提高了地图的质量。地图的潜力也是有用的旅游目的地时，改善空间设计和旅游信息。

Making use of tourists’ photo data uploaded at online photo-sharing sites, we developed potential-of-interest maps, which visualize the locations where a number of tourists has got interested for some reasons. We also developed a mobile tourist information tool based on potential-of-interest maps and examined its usefulness by a user test. In addition, we developed several filters which distinguish tourism-related photos from others, with which we improved the maps’ quality. Potential-of-maps are useful also for tourist destinations when improving spatial designs and tourist information.
