Abstract
A method of identifying an image classification for an input digital image comprising receiving an input digital image for a captured scene; receiving a range map which represents range information associated with the input digital image, wherein the range information represents distances between the captured scene and a known reference location; identifying the image classification using both the range map and the input digital image; and storing the image classification in association with the input digital image in a processor-accessible memory system.
