Patent Images

1. A computer implemented method for ordering images, comprising an act of causing a computer having a processor to perform operations ofi. receiving, in the processor, a plurality of images;

  • ii. extracting, from each image, image features;

    iii. generating a set of all possible image pairs for all images;

    iv. generating at least one similarity metric between the images in each image pair in the set;

    1. if more than one similarity metric exists between the images in each image pair in the set, then generating a net similarity metric by combining the similarity metrics;

    2. if only one similarity metric exists between the images in each image pair in the set, then a net similarity metric is the similarity metric; and

    v. ordering the plurality of images according to the net similarity metrics to generate a computer-ordered set of images.
