Patent Images
1. A method for facilitating computer-assisted tagging of objects in a digital image, comprising:
- using a computer to perform;
receiving locations for one or more objects-of-interest in the digital image;
automatically determining likelihoods of specific tags being assigned to the objects-of-interest;
automatically assigning tentative tags to the objects-of-interest based on the determined likelihoods;
displaying, on the computer, the assignments of tentative tags to a user; and
receiving corrections to the assignments from the user.

Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates computer-assisted tagging of objects in a digital image. During operation, the system receives locations for one or more objects-of-interest in the digital image. Next, the system determines likelihoods of specific tags being assigned to the objects-of-interest. The system then automatically assigns tentative tags to the objects-of-interest based on the determined likelihoods. Next, the system displays the assignments of tentative tags to a user, and receives corrections to the assignments, if any, from the user.

31. An apparatus that facilitates computer-assisted tagging of objects in a digital image, comprising:
-
a receiving mechanism configured to receive locations for one or more objects-of-interest in the digital image; a determination mechanism configured to automatically determine likelihoods of specific tags being assigned to the objects-of-interest; an assignment mechanism configured to automatically assign tentative tags to the objects-of-interest based on the determined likelihoods; a display mechanism configured to display the assignments of tentative tags to a user; and a correction mechanism configured to receive corrections to the assignments, if any, from the user.
