Abstract

A computer-implemented method for creating an image product by accurately grouping faces includes receiving an initial set of face groups for a plurality of face images, training classifiers between pairs of face groups in the initial set of face groups using image-product statistics by a computer processor, classifying the plurality of face images by classifiers to output binary vectors for the plurality of face images by the computer processor, calculating a value for an improved similarity function using the binary vectors for each pair of the plurality of face images, grouping the plurality of face images into modified face groups based on values of the binary similarity functions by the computer processor, and creating an image product based at least in part on the modified face groups.
