Abstract:
1. A method comprising: storing, in a computing device, feature descriptors for each image in a first plurality of images, wherein the feature descriptors are related to image content or image capture conditions; identifying, by the computing device, a plurality of itemsets, wherein each itemset of the plurality of itemsets comprises a set of co-occurring feature descriptors that occurs in a respective subset of images in the first plurality of images; associating, by the computing device, each itemset with the respective subset of images in which the itemset occurs; determining, by the computing device, a quality score for each itemset, wherein the quality score is related to a probability that the itemset occurs in a general population of images based on a probability distribution determined from an analysis of a second plurality of images; identifying, by the computing device, a first itemset based on the determined quality score; and storing, by the computing device, an indication of a respective subset of images associated with the identified first itemset.
