Latest Patents
David John Maunder holds a patent for an "Image Clustering Method." This patent discloses a method of determining one or more event subsets within a plurality of images. Each image is associated with time and location data that specifies the time and location of capture. The method involves determining a time variable for each adjacent pair of images in a capture time-ordered list. Additionally, a distance variable for each adjacent pair of images is calculated. The method also determines speed data of the image capture device at the time and location of each image capture. Ultimately, the ordered list of images is partitioned into one or more event subsets based on a cost function, which is determined according to the normalization of the time and distance variables, weighted relative to the speed data.
