What data are used for position retrieval?ADnota album uses two sources of position data:
Why does ADnota album use GPS data and Cell ID/LAC?GPS reception is not always available. Indoors, in adverse weather conditions or close to buildings or other obstacles the GPS signal may be to weak for proper decoding. The Cell ID and LAC are supplied by the mobile phone (GSM) network. They are available whenever to phone is logged into the network. However, location search using Cell ID and LAC have some drawbacks:
Can the position data be exported or imported?The GPS position data is imported and exported in picture files. When a photo is taken, the picture and the GPS data are stored automatically in the Exchangeable Image Format (EXIF). This format is also used for transmitting the picture (MMS, e-mail, IFR, Bluetooth, etc.) If an imported picture is coded in EXIF and the EXIF file includes GPS information, this GPS data will be used in location search operations. The network Cell ID/LAC data cannot be imported or exported. It is, however, listed in the metadata.How does Voice Search work?A picture can be tagged with up to 31 voice tags. To add a voice tag, select Options/Add keyword. When searching, ADnota album compares all the stored voice-tags (keywords) with the searched keyword. The search returns a list of pictures. The list is sorted, the picture with the best match is displayed in the upper left corner.How can I improve the voice retrieval accuracy for a certain photo?By recording voice-tags several times within a photo, its retrieval accuracy may be improved. Re-recording of voice-tags makes sense, because no word can be uttered in the exact same way, twice. What is more, in the presence of background noise, chances are that different parts of the words get corrupted. Thus, the presence of several variations of the same word increases the probability that for a given query a well matching instance of the sought voice-tag may be found.Why does a voice search return a list instead of a single result?There a several reasons for a list:
What is sequential search and search refining?Search refining allows you to perform a new search in the result list of the previous search. The arrangement of the new result list is based on fuzzy logic. In the current version result lists are limited to 100 entries.Sequential search allows you to concatenate searches. E.g. you can search a picture using a voice search. After this you may select a picture in the result list and return to the main view. The main view shows the pictures taken close to the date of the selected picture. Subsequently you may use a location search to find pictures taken close to the location of the selected picture. |
