Sistema de compartilhamento de imagens geolocalizadas para dispositivos móveis

Abstract

In this work it is proposed the development of a geolocation-based image sharing system for mobile devices. The main focus is the sharing of landscapes’ photos and tourist hotspots, encouraging the discovery and visitation to interesting places around the world. The popularization of the internet and the evolution in the field of mobile devices, has allowed for the popularization of the smartphones with image sharing features. Furthermore, the advent of mobile and wireless technology has given people access to information almost instantly, independent from where they are. With the prevalence of smartphones bringing the ease of information sharing between people, we have seen the rise of the phenomenon known as crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing occurs when the supply of information of a system is achieved communally. Another resource provided by smartphones is the capacity of taking pictures with geolocation data. This work employs the geolocation and wireless network resources available in the smartphones to create the proposed system.
