Method and apparatus for organizing digital media based on face recognition
First Claim
1. A computer-based method for organizing digital photos, comprising:
- extracting objects of interest from a plurality of digital photos;
cropping said plurality of digital photos to generate images of isolated objects of interest;
applying an object recognition algorithm to determine the similarity of isolated objects with a reference model;
displaying a plurality of objects arranged as a function of the determined similarity; and
receiving user input to associate said objects with a particular classification.
