The present invention relates to a method for navigating through a set of images depicting a scenery, said method comprising: receiving information relating to a subset of images within said set of images, said information comprising metadata of each image, said subset of images comprising images being acquired from a geographical position, which is within a bounding area surrounding the geographical position of a current image within the set of images; receiving weight information, said weight information controlling weights to be given to a plurality of different measures of similarities based on different types of metadata; and calculating a plurality of combined measures of similarity for pairs of images in the subset of images, said calculating being performed using said metadata and said weight information.

Method for navigating through a set of images

A method for navigating through a set of images depicting a scene comprises providing a graph representation of correlations of the images and receiving input for navigation that includes an indication of a current image and weight information to control weights to be given to a plurality of measures of similarities of edges in the graph. The indication of the current image is used to determine a current node in the graph representation. At least one best ranked transition image is determined related to the current image by an edge from the current node, said determining comprising using the weight information to weigh the plurality of measures of similarities for forming a combined measure of similarity for edges from the current node, and selecting the at least one best ranked transition image based on a comparison of the combined measure of similarity for the edges from the current node.
