ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods to present web image search results for effective image browsing are described. In one aspect, task-based attention objects for each of multiple images associated with image search results are generated. Thumbnail images from respective ones of the images are created as a function of at least the task-based attention objects. The thumbnail images emphasize image region(s) of greater priority to a user in view of a keyword or expanded keyword associated with the search results.
