ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus process digital images. The method according to one embodiment accesses digital data representing a plurality of digital images including a plurality of persons; performs face recognition to determine first scores relating to similarity between faces of the plurality of persons; performs clothes recognition to determine second scores relating to similarity between clothes of the plurality of persons; provides a plurality of formulas for estimating a probability of a face from the faces and a clothes from the clothes to belong to a person from the plurality of persons, wherein at least one formula of the plurality of formulas utilizes a first score and a second score, and at least one formula of the plurality of formulas utilizes only one score of a first score and a second score; and selects a formula from the plurality of formulas based on availability of a first score from the first scores for two persons from the plurality of persons, and availability of a second score from the second scores for the two persons, the selected formula estimating a probability relating to similarity of identities of the two persons.
