Event classification method using light source detection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving one or more digital images;
detecting one or more light emitting sources within the one or more digital images;
using a data processor to automatically determine an event classification responsive to analyzing a spatial arrangement of the detected light emitting sources in the one or more digital images; and
storing metadata in a processor-accessible memory associating the determined event classification with each of the one or more digital images.

Abstract
A method for determining an event classification for digital images, comprising: receiving one or more digital images; detecting one or more man-made light emitting sources within the one or more digital images; using a data processor to automatically determine an event classification responsive to analyzing a spatial arrangement of the detected man-made light emitting sources in the one or more digital images; and storing metadata in a processor-accessible memory associating the determined event classification with each of the one or more digital images.
