System and method for providing objectified image renderings using recognition information from images

A method for displaying images to a user, the method being implemented by one or more processors that perform steps comprising:

• using one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
• designating a kind of object to be detected from recognition analysis performed on captured images;
• detecting one or more objects on a captured image, wherein the one or more objects are of the kind that are designated to be detected;
• supplementing stored data that corresponds to the captured image with information that identifies each detected object;
• and
• using the stored data and the information that identifies each detected object to present the captured image with the detected objects wherein the detected objects are presented as being separately selectable;
• detecting input corresponding to selection of one of the separately selectable objects apart from a remainder of the captured image;
• and
• responsive to detecting the input, displaying at least one of information or content that is selected based on the detected object.

An image viewing system comprising:

• an image analyzer configured to (i) detect and identify one or more objects in a captured image and (ii) to associate stored data corresponding to the captured image with information that identifies the one or more objects;
• a memory that stores (I) an image file of the data corresponding to the captured image, and (ii) the information that identifies the one or more objects;
• and
• a user-interface configured (i) to present the captured image, (ii) to identify and make selectable the one or more objects from the remainder of the image, and (iii) to perform an action in response to detecting the selection of one of the objects.
