Abstract
The daily use of mobile devices and the expansion of the world-wide-web lead multimedia information to an uncontrolled growth. In this context, the use of smart interfaces and the combination of different features in the information retrieval process are crucial aspects. In particular, for a cultural heritage application it is important to consider that a digitized artwork is only a representation of a real object, represented under specific conditions (camera position, brightness, etc.). These issues could be causes of alterations during the features extraction task. In this paper we propose a multimodal approach for cultural heritage information retrieval combining geographic and visual data. Our approach has been implemented in a mobile system based on open source technologies. It is composed of three main parts related to image matching functionalities, Geographic Information Retrieval task, and a combination strategy for multimedia and geographic data integration. An Android application has been developed to give a user friendly interface and a case study together with some experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of our approach for the user satisfaction.
