Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses a photo processing method and an apparatus for grouping photos into photo albums based on facial recognition results. The method includes: performing face detection on multiple photos, to obtain a face image feature set, each face image feature in the face image feature set corresponding to one of the multiple photos; determining a face-level similarity for each pair of face image features in the face image feature set; determining a photo-level similarity between each pair of photos in the multiple photos in accordance with their associated face-level similarities; generating a photo set for each target photo in the multiple photos, wherein any photo-level similarity between the target photo and another photo in the photo set exceeds a predefined photo-level threshold; and generating a label for each photo set using photographing location and photographing time information associated with the photos in the photo set.

Claim (Index 8):
A computing device, comprising:\n one or more processors; memory coupled to the one or more processors; and a plurality of program instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform a plurality of operations including:\n performing face detection on multiple photos to obtain a face image feature set, each face image feature in the face image feature set corresponding to one of the multiple photos; \n determining a face-level similarity for each pair of face image features in the face image feature set; \n determining a photo-level similarity between each pair of photos in the multiple photos in accordance with their associated face-level similarities, wherein the photo-level similarity between a respective pair of photos is a summation of the face-level similarity between the face image features of the respective pair of photos; \n selecting, from the multiple photos, a photo set for each target photo, wherein any photo-level similarity between the target photo and another photo in the photo set exceeds a predefined photo-level threshold; \n determining a photo set-level similarity between each pair of photo sets associated with the multiple photos, wherein a respective photo set-level similarity between two photo sets is determined according to face-level similarities corresponding to the two photo sets respectively; \n combining at least two photo sets into one photo album in accordance with a determination that a face-level similarity between two face image features of two photos from the two photo sets is greater than a preset face-level similarity threshold and any photo set-level similarities of the two photo sets exceeds a predefined photo set-level threshold, respectively; and \n generating one or more labels for each of a plurality of photo albums using photographing location and photographing time information associated with the photos within the photo album accordingly.
