Abstract
Methods and systems for classifying images, such as photographs, allow a user to incorporate subjective judgments regarding photograph qualities when making classification decisions. A slide-show interface allows a user to classify and advance photographs with a one-key action or a single interaction event. The interface presents related information relevant to a displayed photograph that is to be classified, such as contiguous photographs, similar photographs, and other versions of the same photograph. The methods and systems provide an overview interface which allows a user to review and refine classification decisions in the context of the original sequence of photographs.
