Workflow creation by image analysis
A computer implemented method for generating contextual workflows includes receiving a plurality of images, analyzing the received plurality of images to identify one or more activities corresponding to the plurality of images and one or more contextual details corresponding to the plurality of images, wherein the contextual details indicate a capture location, a capture time, a capture sequence, or a capture subject for the plurality of images, calculating a confidence weighting for the one or more identified activities for the plurality of images, creating a contextual workflow according to the calculated confidence weightings, receiving a query for a workflow corresponding to an indicated context, and identifying one or more workflows that matches the indicated context.
1. A computer program product for generating a contextual workflow, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive a plurality of image clusters, wherein each cluster comprises one or more images;
program instructions to analyze the received plurality of image clusters to identify one or more activities corresponding to the plurality of image clusters, wherein each of the one or more identified activities is depicted by at least one image in the plurality of image clusters, and one or more contextual details corresponding to the plurality of image clusters, wherein the one or more contextual details indicate a capture location, a capture time, a capture sequence, or a capture subject for the plurality of image clusters;
program instructions to calculate a confidence weighting for each of the one or more identified activities for the plurality of image clusters, wherein the confidence weighting for a given identified activity indicates a percentage of the image clusters include an image depicting the given identified activity;
program instructions to identify one or more optional activities, wherein the one or more optional activities correspond to the one or more identified activities for which the calculated confidence weightings fall within a selected optional threshold range;
program instructions to create a contextual workflow according to the calculated confidence weightings and the one or more contextual details that comprise the one or more identified activities that have a confidence weighting greater than a selected threshold as well as an indication of the identified one or more optional activities;
program instructions to create an indicator for the created contextual workflow that indicates one or more contexts to which the created contextual workflow corresponds;
program instructions to store the created contextual workflow in a contextual workflow database;
program instructions to receive a query from a device for a workflow corresponding to the indicated one or more contexts;
program instructions to identify one or more matching contextual workflows within the contextual workflow database that match the one or more indicated contexts by searching for a workflow in the contextual workflow database that has an indicator that includes the one or more indicated contexts; and
program instructions to transmit the one or more identified matching contextual workflows to the device.
