Abstract
One embodiment, among others, is a method for clustering a plurality of images, wherein the plurality of images comprises faces of a plurality of individuals. The method comprises arranging the plurality of images associated with a plurality of individuals into a plurality of subgroups for each individual based on time stamps associated with the plurality of images, wherein the plurality of images are arranged according to increments of a time interval. The method further comprises determining whether adjacent subgroups are correlated and forming groups comprising correlated subgroups. Based on correlations between adjacent groups, the groups are associated with a particular individual.
