ABSTRACT:
A digital image management system is described that includes a content analyzer that analyzes an image to extract content data from the image. The content data of an image include face feature data. The digital image management system also includes an image database that is coupled to the content analyzer to store pixel data of each of a number of images and the content data of each of the images. A search engine is also provided in the digital image management system. The search engine is coupled to the image database and the content analyzer to compare the content data of the images with that of an input image such that any image similar to the input image can be identified from the image database without retrieving the pixel data of the image from the image database. A method of extracting feature data of a face in an image is also described.
