METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLUSTERING DIGITAL PHOTOS BASED SITUATION AND SYSTEM METHOD FOR ABUMING USING IT

摘要

A situation-based clustering method and apparatus and a digital photo album digital picture system and method using the same are disclosed. The situation based digital photo clustering method based on information from a method for clustering based on the time of the situation to take a digital picture, the contents of the extracts, the recorded data information including at least recording time feature value from the digital picture files, digital photos extracting a feature value; Comprising a combination imposes an importance on the extracted feature values ​​and recording time information based on the feature values, respectively; And using the combined feature value information according to its importance is characterized in that it comprises the step of clustering the situation taking a picture into a hierarchy. ; According to the present invention, it can be more quickly and efficiently hwahal album picture data of high capacity. Furthermore, there is an advantage that the freedom to determine the degree of clustering, by using a hierarchical clustering method proposed in the present invention, depending on the nature or needs of the user of the input picture data.
