  • Method and system for creating digital image album
    Patent number: 9275301
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments related to a method and system for creating a digital image album implementable on a computing device. The method includes grouping a plurality of digital images to generate a plurality of groups. Each of the plurality of groups is then transmitted to one or more crowdworkers for ranking each digital image of the plurality of groups. A final rank corresponding to each of the plurality of digital images is then determined based on the one or more ranks assigned by the one or more crowdworkers to each digital image of the plurality of groups. Thereafter, at least one digital image is selected from each of the plurality of groups based on the final rank of at least one digital image to create the digital image album.
