Abstract

The present disclosure proposes computer-based systems and methods for determining, for an application, the most relevant subset of images across a number of sources of images by identifying images over multiple image providers, aggregating image collection over those images that are candidates for use, evaluating candidate images based on comparing image metadata against customizable image preference criteria, and producing a set of images to be selected either by a user or by a computer for use in the application.
