Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed towards providing contextual tags for an image based on a contextual analysis of associated images captured in the same environment as the image. To determine contextual tags, content tags can be determined for images. The determined content tags can be associated with categories based on a contextual classification of the content tags. These associated content tags can then be designated as contextual tags for a respective category. To associate these contextual tags with the images, the images can be iterated through based on how the images relate to the contextual tags. For instance, when an image is associated with a category, the contextual tags classified into that category can be assigned to that image.
