suggestions for getting original flickr image from tagmaps api   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #27 of 72 |
Hi,

Great work on this problem, kudos to your entire team. It's apparent
that your system does a great job of cleaning up/removing extraneous
images from flickr and provides a more succinct view of a
location-based tag.

Is it possible to get a data API call that will retrieve the relevant
images for a tag -- after they've been processed by TagMaps? I am
looking at research steps to re-order these images to get exactly what
a user is interested in and perhaps glean a little more information
about relevant tags from this visual cluster.

I'm trying to analyze how we can improve tag recommendation based on
TagMaps for a specific tag either with a content (image) analysis or
tag frequency analysis. Unfortunately, I can't access the image IDs
that popup in the handy flash explorer. So far, it looks like I have
to go back to the unstructured flickr data and start the process
myself (yuck!). Is there a way to get to these images over the API?
I can't count the ways that this could help improve location-based search.

Thanks for any advice!
Eric

Thanks for the fast reply! ... I was hoping of jumping from (a) to (c) with the specific images that TagMaps has recognized as relevant to that tag. At least...
