Abstract
An embodiment provides for enabling retrieval of a collection of captured images that form at least a portion of a library of images. For each image in the collection, a captured image may be analyzed to recognize information from image data contained in the captured image, and an index may be generated, where the index data is based on the recognized information. Using the index, functionality such as search and retrieval is enabled. Various recognition techniques, including those that use the face, clothing, apparel, and combinations of characteristics may be utilized. Recognition may be performed on, among other things, persons and text carried on objects.

12. A method for determining information about captured images, the method comprising:
-
identifying a cluster of images from a collection of captured images based on a common characteristic shared by the cluster of images;
determining a recognition signature of a given person appearing in one of the cluster of images; and
using the determined recognition signature in determining a recognition signature of one or more persons appearing in other images in the cluster of images. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for organizing a collection of captured images, the method comprising:
-
identifying an object carrying a text in one or more image from the collection;
recognizing the text for each of the one or more images; and
organizing the images, based at least in part, on the recognized text from each of the one or more images. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for performing recognition on a captured image, the method comprising:
-
analyzing image data from the captured image to detect a face of a person in the image;
normalizing a portion of the image data corresponding to a location in which the face appears; and
generating a recognition signature for the person using the normalized portion of the image. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 38)

31. A method for performing recognition on a captured image, the method comprising:
-
analyzing image data from at least the captured image to detect a person in the image;
determining recognition information from a face of the person;
determining additional recognition information from performing at least one of (i) determining recognition information of a clothing or apparel worn by the person, (ii) determining a time in which the image was captured, (iii) identifying a location or region in which the image was captured; and
determining a recognition signature of the person based on the recognition information from the face and the additional recognition information. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)

45. A system for performing recognition on captured images, the system comprising:
-
an image analysis module configured to analyze image data from at a set of captured images in order to generate recognition information for persons that appear in images in the set of captured images; and
a content and data inference module that enhances the recognition information generated for a given image in the set by recognition information from other images in the set. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
