Claim 16:
17. A method performed by a computing device, the method comprising:
receiving, by the computing device, a plurality of digital images;
detecting, by the computing device, faces within the digital images;
generating, by the computing device, face indicators for the detected faces;
generating, by the computing device, facial feature descriptors for the generated face indicators, the facial feature descriptors including coordinates for detected facial features;
based on the facial feature descriptors, generating, by the computing device, face signatures for the face indicators, the face signatures indicating entities associated with the face indicators;
generating, by the computing device, face scores for the face indicators, the face scores indicating an overall quality of the detected face; and
grouping, by the computing device, the digital images into multi-entity groups based on the face signatures and face indicators having face scores that exceed a threshold.
