Abstract
Methods and systems for image clustering are described, and include determining a plurality of images from a video of a game, the video captured by a camera on a mobile device, where at least one image of the plurality of images is segmented from a video frame of the video; determining a feature vector from the at least one image; dividing the images into a first subset and a second subset based on the feature vector; tagging a first player in a first image of the first subset with an identifier, where the identifier differentiates the images in the first subset to a plurality of players; and identifying a second player in a second image in the second subset by propagating the identifier of the first subset, based on a distance measure associated with the feature vector. Running on a mobile computing device, this invention allows multiplayer tagging to be easily performed in almost any environment.
