This process involves extracting and analyzing human emotions associated with specific locations. However, previous studies have been limited to analyzing individual faces in the UGPs. This approach falls short of representing the contextual scene characteristics, such as environmental elements and overall scene context, which may contain implicit emotional knowledge. To address this issue, we propose an innovative computational framework for global tourist place emotion analysis leveraging UGPs. Specifically, we first introduce a Multi-view Graph Fusion Network (M-GFN) to effectively recognize multi-view emotions from UGPs, considering crowd emotions and scene implicit sentiment. After that, we designed an attraction-specific emotion index (AEI) to quantitatively measure place emotions based on the identified multi-view emotions at various tourist attractions with place types. Complementing the AEI, we employ the emotion intensity index (EII) and Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) to deepen the exploration of the association between attraction types and place emotions. The synergy of AEI, EII, and PCC allows comprehensive attraction-specific place emotion extraction, enhancing the overall quality of tourist place emotion analysis. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework enhances existing place emotion analysis methods, and the M-GFN outperforms state-of-the-art emotion recognition methods. Our framework can be adapted for various geo-emotion analysis tasks, like recognizing and regulating workplace emotions, underscoring the intrinsic link between emotions and geographic contexts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi13070256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,17]],"date-time":"2024-07-17T08:48:29Z","timestamp":1721206109000},"page":"256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Enhancing Place Emotion Analysis with Multi-View Emotion Recognition from Geo-Tagged Photos: A Global Tourist Attraction Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8873-4778","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Information Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430078, China"}]},{"given":"Shunping","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430078, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Geographic Information System, Wuhan 430078, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7392-3709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qingfeng","family":"Guan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Information Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430078, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Geographic Information System, Wuhan 430078, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8969-8879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fang","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430078, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Geographic Information System, Wuhan 430078, China"}]},{"given":"Ni","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geography and Information Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430078, China"}]},{"given":"Kanglin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430078, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0465-3976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuanyuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430078, China"},{"name":"National Engineering Research Center for Geographic Information System, Wuhan 430078, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"103476","article-title":"Deep exploration of street view features for identifying urban vitality: A case study of Qingdao city","volume":"123","author":"Ma","year":"2023","journal-title":"Int.
