Active Image Tagging
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for active tagging, comprising:
- performed by one or more processors executing computer-readable instructions;
selecting a file stored in a memory;
providing the file to a client device for manual tagging by a user of the client device;
receiving a tagged file from the client device;
storing the tagged file in the memory;
predicting a tag for another file based on the tagged file to create another tagged file in the memory; and
storing the other tagged file in the memory.

Abstract
Methods and systems for active image tagging are usable to build large datasets of tagged images by combining manual tagging by a user and automatic tagging by a computing device based on the manual tagging. Such tags may be used to effectively sort, organize, link, and search for images within large datasets of images. Additionally, the active image tagging may be configured to utilize a tagging game where multiple users manually tag images by playing a game on a computing device.

11. One or more computer-readable storage media, storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed on a processor, perform acts for active tagging, the acts comprising:
-
selecting a file stored in a memory; providing the file to a file tagging game; receiving a tagged file from the file tagging game; storing the tagged file in the memory; predicting a tag for another file in the memory based on the tagged file; and storing the other tagged file in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for iterative active image tagging comprising:
-
memory and a processor; an image file selection module, stored in the memory and executable on the processor, configured to select an image file from a subset of data stored in the memory; a manual image file tagging module, stored in the memory and executable on the processor, configured to provide the selected image file to a client device for a user to create a manually tagged image file to be stored in the memory; an automatic image file tagging module, stored in the memory and executable on the processor, configured to provide automatic image tags to other image files in the subset of data stored in the memory based on the manually tagged image file; and an iteration module, stored in the memory and executable on the processor, configured to iteratively activate the manual image file tagging module and the automatic image file tagging module until tagging is complete. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
