Method and system for tagging an image of an individual in a plurality of photos

1. A method for tagging an image of an individual in a plurality of images, the method comprising:

providing a first plurality of images, each of the first plurality of images comprising an identified facial image of the individual;

generating a feature vector for the individual based on the identified facial image of the individual in each of the first plurality of images;

identifying each image among a second plurality of images having the facial image of the individual by matching the feature vector for the individual to a facial image of the individual in each image; and

tagging each image among the second plurality of images having the facial image of the individual with location information of the facial image of the individual in each image, wherein the location information includes X and Y coordinates of each facial image of the individual in each image, and wherein tagging includes storing an identifier for each facial image of the individual in a database and storing the X and Y coordinates for each facial image of the individual in the database.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of images comprises an identified object image.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing the first plurality of images to determine if the identified facial image of the individual is of adequate quality.

4. The method claim 1 , further comprising:

organizing each of the tagged images into a third plurality of images.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

creating one or more links between tagged images.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of images include digital images or analog images.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location information further includes a size of the facial image of the individual in each image.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the location information further includes a tilt angle of the facial image of the individual in each image.

9. A system for tagging an image of an individual in a plurality of images, the system comprising:

a processor; and

one or memories in communication with the processor when the system is in operation, the one or more memories having stored thereon instructions that upon execution by the processor at least cause the system to:

provide a first plurality of images, each of the first plurality of images comprising an identified facial image of the individual;

generate a feature vector for the individual based on the identified facial image of the individual in each of the first plurality of images;

identify each image among a second plurality of images having the facial image of the individual based on a match between the feature vector for the individual and a facial image of the individual in each image; and

tag each image among the second plurality of images having the facial image of the individual with location information of the facial image of the individual in each image, wherein the location information includes X and Y coordinates of each facial image of the individual in each image, and wherein tagging includes storing an identifier for each facial image of the individual in a database and storing the X and Y coordinates for each facial image of the individual in the database.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first plurality of images comprises an identified object image.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to analyze the first plurality of images to determine if the identified facial image of the individual is of adequate quality.

12. The system claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to organize each of the tagged into a third plurality of images.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to create one or more links between tagged images.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of images include digital images or analog images.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the location information further includes a size of the facial image of the individual in each image.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the location information further includes a tilt angle of the facial image of the individual in each image.

17. A method for tagging an image of an individual in a plurality of images, the method comprising:

providing a first plurality of images, each of the first plurality of images comprising an identified facial image of the individual;

generating a feature vector for the individual based on the identified facial image of the individual in each of the first plurality of images;

identifying each image among a second plurality of images having the facial image of the individual by matching the feature vector for the individual to a facial image of the individual in each image;

tagging each image among the second plurality of images to create a third plurality of images, wherein tagging includes determining location information of the facial image of the individual in each image among the second plurality of images, wherein location information identifies a position of the facial image of the individual within each image among the second plurality of images; and

storing the location information in a database and storing an identifier for each facial image of the individual in the database.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the position includes X and Y coordinates of each facial image of the individual in each image among the second plurality of images.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the location information further includes a size of the facial image of the individual in each image.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the location information further includes a tilt angle of the facial image of the individual in each image.
