Computer-implemented method, a computer program product and a computer system for image processing

A client-server system operable to process images, the system comprising:

• a client (202), the client (202) comprising:
• a receiving module operable to receive a user image (506);
• a client image processing module (212) operable to assign an initial classification to the user image, wherein the initial classification is based on temporal data associated with the user image (506);
• a server (204), the server (204) comprising:
• a server communication module (222) operable to receive the user image (506) from the client (202);
• a scene detector (404) operable to identify an image label that globally describes the user image (506) and further operable to calculate a label correctness value for the image label;
• an object identifier (406) operable to recognize an image component (508, 510) of the user image (506) and further operable to calculate a component correctness value for the image component (508, 510);
• a correlation module (408) operable to correlate the image label and the image component (508, 510) using the label correctness value and the component correctness value, and further operable to identify a correlated image label and a correlated image component;
• a categorization module (412) operable to apply a rule in order to determine a category of the user image (506), wherein the rule is based on at least one of the following:
• the temporal data, the correlated image label, and the correlated image component;
• and
• a final classification module operable to produce a final classification based on the initial classification, the correlated image label, the correlated image component and the category;
• wherein the server communication module (222) is further operable to send the following to the client:
• the final classification and a reference to the user image (506).
