Abstract
A method of quantifying social affinity from multiple images includes identifying each image showing both a first person and a second person and determining a weighted affinity value between the first person and the second person. The weighted affinity value is determined based on a total number of persons appearing in each identified image, a physical distance between the first person and the second person represented in each identified image, and a total number of identified images.
