HUMAN PHOTO SEARCH SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A human photo search system, comprising:
- a user device including a canvas interactive interface, the canvas interactive interface including a query canvas area for allowing a user to compose human content and human layout therein to generate query semantics; and
a photo search server including;
a human photo database for storing a plurality of human photos and building a block-based index based on position and size information;
a search module for receiving the query semantics from the user device and retrieving candidate photos pointed to by the block-based index of the human photo database based on the query semantics;
a ranking module for generating a score for each of the candidate photos based on relevance, and sorting all of the candidate photos according to the scores therefor; and
a display module for returning the sorted candidate photos back to the user device.

Abstract
A human photo search system is provided. A user can search for a human photo using a canvas interactive interface on a user device, such as a touch panel or a computer. The user composes his/her impression of a desired photo on a query canvas to generate query semantics, which are then sent to a photo search server. The photo search server then searches a human photo database for candidate photos corresponding to the query semantics, and ranks the candidate photos according to relevance. Finally, the photo search server sends the sorted candidate photos back to the user device for display. Accordingly, the human photo search system of the present invention can search possible photos by the positions, the sizes, and the human attributes of the people in the desired photo, for which the user composes his/her impression on the query canvas without entering any text tags.
