My interest in digital technologies has always been utilizing social media to mine for bottom-up information. Here is a short proposal for what Photosynth can do when you combine it with social media.
1. Extract "UNSW Library" Images from Flickr (Yahoo! Pipes)
2. Download RSS
3. Import Photos into Photosynth - We cannot get a full reconstruction of the whole building based solely on photos in Flickr alone, this collection is only 17% synthy. However we can determine that one angle or one facade is more photogenic than the other angles of this building, based on the density alone.
4. Identified that this facade is collectively the most potogenic for 'UNSW Library'.
