Abstract
Dynamic thumbnails are described. Dynamic thumbnails provide a convenient and automated approach for providing thumbnails that are contextually relevant to a user. In at least some implementations, an input image is analyzed to generate tags describing objects or points of interest within the image, and to generate rectangles that describe the locations within the image that correspond to the generated tags. Various combinations of generated tags are analyzed to determine the smallest bounding rectangle that contains every rectangle associated with the tags in the respective combination, and a thumbnail is created. A user input is received and compared to the tags associated with the generated thumbnails, and a thumbnail that is most relevant to the user input is selected and output to the user.
