Imagine taking a digital picture with your new camera-phone and the picture is able to annotate itself. For example, if you are at Fenway Park and take a picture, the picture will automatically be annotated with keywords such as "Fenway Park," "Baseball," or "Red Sox." This project takes advantage of a GPS receiver and a geographical search engine called MetaCarta to annotate pictures in real time with relevant keywords. These keywords help users to make sense of their surroundings when they take the picture, as well as to organize and retrieve pictures afterwards.
