1. A method for determining an image characteristic in a digital image, said method comprising:

  • a) identifying a first glyph component in a digital image;

    b) determining a first reference location for said first glyph component;

    c) in said first glyph component, determining a first feature location associated with a first glyph feature;

    d) determining a first position, relative to said first reference location, of said first feature location;

    e) accumulating, in a first distribution counter, a frequency-of-occurrence count related to said first glyph feature and said first position;

    f) determining a distribution feature based on said first distribution counter; and

    g) associating a first image-characteristic value with said digital image based on said distribution feature and a first probabilistic model, wherein said first probabilistic model is associated with said first glyph feature and said first image characteristic.
