For each superpixel of the plurality of superpixels: a semantic label may be assigned () to the superpixel; features of the superpixel may be extracted (); and a measure of similarity between the features extracted from the superpixel and features extracted from a reference superpixel identified in a reference digital image may be determined (), wherein the reference superpixel has a reference semantic label that matches the semantic label assigned to the superpixel. Based on the measures of similarity associated with the plurality of superpixels, it may be determined () that the first subject is depicted in the reference image.
