US 10,592,773 B2 · Grouping digital images based on detected objects

Abstract

A user captures images on a user computing device. The user signs in to an application, which transmits the user's images to an account management system, which recognizes objects within the images and assigns one or more object categories to the images and recognizes multiple images comprising objects in a common object category. After receiving user consent, the application groups the images on the user computing device according to object category. The user computing device captures an image of another object. The application transmits the image to the account management system, which detects objects within the image, identifies the object category, and saves the image to the corresponding object category group on the user computing device. After receiving user consent, the account management system finds information for each image in the object category group of images and transmits the information to the user computing device.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method to organize digital images based on objects detected in images, comprising:

by one or more computing devices:
identifying one or more objects within each image of a set of images;
assigning one or more object category labels to each image of the set of images based on the one or more objects identified within each image and based on location data corresponding to each image;
for each assigned object category label:
detecting two or more images within the set of images having a particular assigned object category label;
and
grouping, in response to detecting the two or more images within the set of images having the particular assigned object category label, the two or more detected images;
transmitting, to a computing device operated by a user, an organized set of images, wherein the organized set of images comprises the set of images arranged in groups of two or more images, each group comprising images assigned a respective particular object category label;
and
transmitting, to the computing device operated by the user, a request for consent to find information related to each image of a specific group of images of the set of images corresponding to a specific assigned object category label of the one or more assigned object category labels.

7 more elements

A computer program product to organize digital images based on objects detected in images, comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable program instructions embodied thereon that when executed by a computer cause the computer to:
identify one or more objects within each image of a set of images;
assign one or more object category labels to each image of the set of images based on the one or more objects identified within each image and based on location data corresponding to each image;
for each assigned object category label:
detect two or more images within the set of images having a particular assigned object category label;
group the two or more detected images in response to detecting the two or more images within the set of images having the particular assigned object category label;
transmit, to a computing device operated by a user, an organized set of images, wherein the organized set of images comprises the set of images arranged in groups of two or more images, each group comprising images assigned a respective particular object category label;
and
transmit, to the computing device operated by the user, a request for consent to find information related to each image of a specific group of images of the set of images corresponding to a specific assigned object category label of the one or more assigned object category labels.

6 more elements

A system to organize digital images based on objects detected in images, comprising:

a storage device;
and
a processor communicatively coupled to the storage device, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage device to cause the system to:
identify one or more objects within each image of a set of images;
assign one or more object category labels to each image of the set of images based on the one or more objects identified within each image and based on location data corresponding to each image;
for each assigned object category label:
detect two or more images within the set of images having a particular assigned object category label;
and
group two or more detected images in response to detecting the two or more images within the set of images having the particular assigned object category label;
transmit, to a computing device operated by a user, an organized set of images, wherein the organized set of images comprises the set of images arranged in groups of two or more images, each group comprising images assigned a respective particular object category label;
and
transmit, to the computing device operated by the user, a request for consent to find information related to each image of a specific group of images of the set of images corresponding to a specific assigned object category label of the one or more assigned object category labels.
