Abstract
A technique for selecting a representative image from a group of digital images includes extracting data representing an image of a face of a person from each image in the group using a face recognition algorithm, determining a score for each image based on one or more quality parameters that are satisfied for the respective image, and selecting the image having the highest score as the representative image for the group. The quality parameters may be based on any quantifiable characteristics of the data. Each of these quality parameters may be uniquely weighted, so as to define the relative importance of one parameter with respect to another. The score for determining the representative image of the group may be obtained by adding together the weights corresponding to each quality parameter that is satisfied for a given image. Once selected, the representative image may be displayed in a graphical user interface.
