Claim Text:
1. A method for computing a place profile, comprising: providing a geographical definition of a place; retrieving a set of images based on the geographical place definition; for each of the images in the set of images, generating an image-level representation comprising extracting a set of patch statistics for each of a set of patches of the image and aggregating the patch statistics into an image-level representation, the patch statistics being based on features of pixels of the respective patch; with a classifier, generating image-level statistics for the retrieved images based on the image-level representations including labeling images with class labels, the classifier having been trained to generate image-level statistics for a finite set of classes, and filtering a class label of a retrieved image based on a computed geographical density of other retrieved images with a same class label; and aggregating the image-level statistics to generate a place profile for the geographically-defined place, wherein at least the generating and aggregating are performed with a computer processor.
