  • Patent number: 10460212
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for using digital camera fingerprints to create bins of digital images generated by the same digital camera. The method includes determining, for each digital image in the set of digital images, a digital fingerprint. The method also includes sorting each digital image into one of a high-quality subset and a low-quality subset. The method also includes sorting each digital image in the high-quality subset into one of a plurality of bins. In each bin the images were determined, based on the digital fingerprints of the images in the bin, to have been generated by a single digital camera associated with the bin. The method also includes sorting each digital image in the low-quality subset into one of the plurality of bins, the sorting being performed based on the digital fingerprint of the digital image.
