Abstract
A computer-implemented method of grouping faces in large user account for creating an image product includes adding the face images obtained from an image album in a user's account into a first chunk; if the chunk size of the first chuck is smaller than a maximum chuck value, keeping the face images from the image album into the first chunk; otherwise, automatically separating the face images from the image album into a first portion and one or more second portions; keeping the first portion in the first chunk; automatically moving the second portions to subsequent chunks; automatically grouping face images in the first chunk to form face groups; assigning the face groups to known face models associated with the user account; and creating a design for an image-based product based on the face images in the first chunk associated with the face models.
