Virtual Reality Lifelog Explorer: Lifelog Search Challenge at ACM ICMR 2018

Abstract

The Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) invites researchers to share their prototypes for lifelog exploration and retrieval and encourages competition to evaluate effective methodologies for this. In this paper. we present a novel approach to visual lifelog exploration using a virtual reality (VR) platform. Findings from our initial experiments with known-item search from lifelog data have motivated us to build a retrieval engine for virtual reality that uses visual concepts automatically extracted from the lifelog visual data as the basis for it's filtering mechanism.
