Abstract
An image in a web page may be annotated after deriving information about an image when the image may be displayed on multiple web pages. The web pages that show the image may be analyzed in light of each other to determine metadata about the image, then various additional content may be added to the image. The additional content may be hyperlinks to other webpages. The additional content may be displayed as annotations on top of the images and in other manners. Many embodiments may perform searching, analysis, and classification of images prior to the web page being served.
