METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CLASSIFICATION OF QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining digital data associated with a region of interest in an image;
processing and/or facilitating a processing of the digital data to determine one or more quality attributes associated with the region of interest;
causing, at least in part, a comparison of the one or more quality attributes to one or more criteria; and
causing, at least in part, a generation of one or more classifications for the image based, at least in part, on the comparison.

Abstract
An approach is provided for automated analysis and classification of quality characteristics associated with captured imagery that may be used in an application such as a map application. The approach includes determining digital data associated with a region of interest in an image. The approach also comprises processing and/or facilitating a processing of the digital data to determine one or more quality attributes associated with the region of interest. The approach further comprises causing, at least in part, a comparison of the one or more quality attributes to one or more criteria. The approach also comprises causing, at least in part, a generation of one or more classifications for the image based, at least in part, on the comparison.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine digital data associated with a region of interest in an image; process and/or facilitate a processing of the digital data to determine one or more quality attributes associated with the region of interest; cause, at least in part, a comparison of the one or more quality attributes to one or more criteria; and cause, at least in part, a generation of one or more classifications for the image based, at least in part, on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:
-
determine digital data associated with a region of interest in an image; process and/or facilitate a processing of the digital data to determine one or more quality attributes associated with the region of interest; cause, at least in part, a comparison of the one or more quality attributes to one or more criteria; and cause, at least in part, a generation of one or more classifications for the image based, at least in part, on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
