Abstract
In one aspect, a metadata-based classification result is obtained based on metadata associated with an image. A histogram-based classification result is determined based on a histogram of intensity values derived from the image. The image is classified into a scene type class based on the metadata-based classification result and the histogram-based classification result. In another aspect, a first condition is applied on a first one of metadata associated with an image corresponding to a measure of amount of light received in capturing the image to obtain a first metadata-based classification result. A second condition is applied on a second one of the metadata corresponding to a measure of brightness of the image to obtain a second metadata-based classification result. The image is classified into a scene type class based on the first and second metadata-based classification results.
