The task of determining the desired path to a given location is influenced by user preference, as well as by other people's opinions. This paper presents the authors' research on the localization issue, focusing on the location logs of visitors to a museum. The paper briefly presents the limitations of global positioning system (GPS) receivers, Wi-Fi networks, and radiowave strength from base stations. It discusses multiple user-adapted features, including route recommendation, personalized explanation, a reference for updating the display, and a means of sharing with other interested users. The authors present image-based positioning techniques for museum localization with an easy-to-use and cost-saving system that adapts to individual users. The system is based on image recognition. It matches images taken by the user with the images in the database, and it uses tags to determine other features of the image, which help with navigation. For feature extraction, the authors use principal component analysis scale-invariant feature transform (PCA-SIFT). For searching correspondent pairs of points, they use locality sensitive hashing. For route estimation-for the distance between two points of interest-they plan to use photos taken in the museum in order to create a dynamic system that connects the two photos with the closest time stamps. A museum typically tracks visitor preferences with tools such as questionnaires. However, an adaptive information technology (IT) tool benefits both visitors and museums: it will help museums guide visitors to specific points of interest. Online Computing Reviews Service
