METHOD FOR PROVIDING AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION PACKING SERVICE BY RECOGNIZING INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER IN THE PHOTO-IMAGE AND THE KIOK FOR PROVIDING THE SAME SERVICE

摘要

A method of providing an automatic sorting packing service sorting photo images according to characters contained therein and a kiosk providing the automatic sorting packing service sorting according to characters are provided. The method includes: extracting a characteristic of each character from a face area of each photo image for which printing has been requested; and determining whether a detected character is a new character by comparing the extracted characteristic with a characteristic stored in a database. If the detected character is determined to be a new character, the extracted characteristic is stored in the database, a new packing line is allocated to the detected character, and a corresponding photo image is added to the allocated packing line. If the detected character is determined to be a character that has previously been recorded in the database, the corresponding photo image is added to the packing line of the detected character.
