We propose an efficient tourist route search
system that not only recommends a path that simply connects several tourist spots, but also
recommends the path with the most beautiful scenery. To achieve an automatic tourist spot
recommendation dependent on each user's preferences, we propose a personalized tourist spot
recommendation technique using web information. To find a route with attractive scenery, a
novel method for ranking a path based on the visibility of good scenery is presented.
Calculation of visible ratio
A recommended route is shown at the upper left quarter
and the landscape seen from a virtual camera is shown at the bottom left
quarter
