Inferring the gender of a face in an image
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images that display visible physical features of people in the images;
generating a data structure having representations of the visible physical features and associations that link the representations based on similarities in appearance between the visible physical features of the people in the images; and
outputting a first classification value for a first representation of a first visible physical feature of a person in an image that indicates a classification for the first visible physical feature of the person in the image, into one or a plurality of available classification groups, based on one or more other corresponding classification values of one or more other representations of one or more other corresponding visible physical features that are linked to the first representation.

Abstract
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a computer-implemented method that includes receiving a plurality of images having human faces. The method further includes generating a data structure having representations of the faces and associations that link the representations based on similarities in appearance between the faces. The method further includes outputting a first gender value for a first representation of a first face that indicates a gender of the first face based on one or more other gender values of one or more other representations of one or more other faces that are linked to the first representation.

21. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of images that display visible physical features of animals; generating a graph that has nodes and edges, wherein the nodes represent the visible physical features of people or animals and the edges link the nodes based at least on similarities in appearance between the visible physical features; and determining a visible characteristic of a first visible physical feature represented by a first node based at least on the visible characteristics of one or more other visible physical features that have nodes linked to the first node.

22. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of images that have animal faces; generating a data structure that includes representations of the faces; linking the representations based at least on similarities in appearance between the faces; and determining a first value that indicates a visible characteristic of a first face based at least on visible characteristics of one or more other faces that are linked to the representation of the first face.

23. A system comprising:
-
a face detector that identifies faces within images; means for generating a data structure configured to associate a first face with one or more second faces based on similarities in appearance between the first face and the one or more second faces;
means for determining a visible characteristic of the first face based at least on the visible characteristics of the one or more second faces that are associated with the first face; andan interface that outputs a value that indicates the visible characteristic of the first face.
