Image browsers are important and useful applications for retrieving images from personal photograph collections. Such browsers can be a life log analysis tool to explore the events of photograph owners. This paper presents a novel photograph browser consisting of two linked views. One of the views displays photographs clustered based on their locations and times, and the other displays people clustered based on their co-occurrences in the events. Specifying a photograph, the corresponding time the picture was shot and people in the photograph are highlighted. Specifying a time, corresponding photographs and people are highlighted. Specifying a person, associated photographs are highlighted, and their corresponding times are shown. The mechanism helps users to discover interested photographs and understand the events of photograph owners. This paper presents a real scenario and user experiment, demonstrating the eectiveness of the presented browser.
