Claim One:
1. A system for generating a dynamic representation of relations among individuals, the system comprising: a memory for storing computer executable instructions; and a processing unit for accessing the memory and executing the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions comprising: an event classifier to classify main characters of images in an image collection as to an event identification based on events in which the main characters appear, wherein each image has a time stamp, and wherein each main character is characterized as to at least one attribute; a relation determination engine to determine relation circles of the main characters based on the event identifications; and a construction engine to construct a dynamic relation tree representative of relations among the main characters, wherein the dynamic relation tree provides representations of the positions of the main characters in the relation circles, and wherein views and constituents of the dynamic relation tree change when different time periods are specified during display.
