Patent number: 8750574Abstract: The present invention solves the problem of automatically recognizing multiple known faces in photos or videos on a local computer storage device (on a home computer). It further allows for sophisticated organization and presentation of the photos or videos based on the graphical selection of known faces (by selecting thumbnail images of people). It also solves the problem of sharing or distributing photos or videos in an automated fashion between ‘friends’ who are also using the same software that enables the invention. It further solves the problem of allowing a user of the invention to review the results of the automatic face detection, eye detection, and face recognition methods and to correct any errors resulting from the automated process.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Applied Recognition Inc.Inventors: Ray Ganong, Donald Waugh, Yong Man Ro, Konstantinos Plataniotis, Chris Studholme
