Abstract
Images are analyzed using sub-sectional component evaluation in order to augment classifier usage. An image of an individual is obtained. The face of the individual is identified, and regions within the face are determined. The individual is evaluated to be within a sub-sectional component of a population based on a demographic or based on an activity. An evaluation of content of the face is performed based on the individual being within a sub-sectional component of a population. The sub-sectional component of a population is used for disambiguating among content types for the content of the face. A Bayesian framework that includes a conditional probability is used to perform the evaluation of the content of the face, and the evaluation is further based on a prior event that occurred.
