Abstract

The impact of Location Based Services (LBS) in the mobile cloud paradigm has been huge. The location based services provide a great backbone to mobile cloud and ease the whole process of communication at a global level. Any location based cloud service is used in order to enhance the user’s accessibility and make the service more user-friendly. Using a cloud base location system can improve the quality of the data storage. The objective is creating a location based mobile cloud application in android platform. This application will be able to geo-tag captured images and upload them onto a cloud. The images that are uploaded in the cloud will be sorted according to their locality. The images in the cloud which are in public mode will be visible to a user when he is in the same locality of the picture’s geo tag.
