  • Photo importance determination
    Patent number: 8983150
    Abstract: In embodiments of photo importance determination, a photo analyzer is implemented to analyze the image content of each photo in a set of digital photos, and determine similar photos based on the image content and metadata of the digital photos. The photo analyzer can then create stacks of the similar photos and determine a representative photo from the similar photos in each stack. The photo analyzer can then determine a display sequence to display non-stacked photos and the representative photos of each stack. The photo analyzer can also receive viewer feedback associated with the digital photos being displayed for viewing, and then determine a different representative photo from the similar photos in each of the stacks based on the viewer feedback. The photo analyzer can also determine a revised display sequence of the non-stacked photos and the representative photos of the stacks based on the viewer feedback.
