Identifying Images Using Face Recognition
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- identifying at least one named entity;
retrieving images associated with the at least one named entity;
performing face detection on the retrieved images to detect faces in the retrieved images, wherein the face detection is performed using a face detection algorithm;
identifying at least one representative face image from the retrieved images; and
using the at least one representative face image to identify one or more additional images representing the at least one named entity.

Abstract
A method includes identifying a named entity, retrieving images associated with the named entity, and using a face detection algorithm to perform face detection on the retrieved images to detect faces in the retrieved images. At least one representative face image from the retrieved images is identified, and the representative face image is used to identify one or more additional images representing the at least one named entity.
