A method for improving scene classification of a sequence of digital images is disclosed herein. Such a method may include providing a sequence of images captured in temporal succession; (b) classifying each of the images individually based on information contained in the image alone to generate a first image classification; and (c) imposing a pre-determined temporal context model on the sequence of images to generate a final image classification for each image in the sequence.

Method of using temporal context for image classification

A method for scene classification of a digital image includes extracting pre-determined camera metadata tags from the digital image. The method also includes obtaining estimates of image class based on the extracted metadata tags. In addition, the method includes obtaining estimates of image class based on image and producing a final estimate of image class based on a combination of metadata-based estimates and image content-based estimates.

Method for semantic scene classification using camera metadata and content-based cues

A method for improving scene classification of a digital image comprising the steps of: (a) providing an image; (b) systematically recomposing the image to generate an expanded set of images; and (c) using a classifier and the expanded set of images to determine a scene classification for the image, whereby the expanded set of images provides at least one of an improved classifier and an improved classification result.
