Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a selection of an image. An object included in the image can be detected. An image portion that includes the object can be extracted from the image. The image portion can be provided for image analysis based on one or more object recognition processes. An identifier for the object can be received. The identifier can be determined based on the one or more object recognition processes being applied to the image portion.

First claim

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computing system, a selection of an image; detecting, by the computing system, an object included in the image; extracting, by the computing system, from the image, an image portion that includes the object; providing, by the computing system, to one or more servers remote from the computing system the image portion for image analysis based on one or more object recognition processes performed, at least in part, via the one or more servers remote from the computing system; and receiving, by the computing system, an identifier for the object, the identifier being determined based on the one or more object recognition processes being applied to the image portion.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
presenting the image and the identifier; providing one or more options to modify at least one of the identifier or information associated with the image; receiving an upload command to upload the image; and transmitting the image and the identifier subsequent to receiving the upload command.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein detecting the object included in the image further comprises determining a location of the object within the image, wherein the identifier is presented based on the location of the object within the image, wherein the identifier is presented to appear to overlay the image, and wherein the identifier is presented to avoid obscuring the object included in the image.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a second object included in the image; extracting, from the image, a second image portion that includes the second object; and providing the second image portion for image analysis based on the one or more object recognition processes, wherein the image portion and the second image portion are provided in conjunction.

5 . (canceled)

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the object includes a face of a user represented in the image, wherein the one or more object recognition processes include one or more facial recognition processes, and wherein the identifier includes a name associated with the user.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more facial recognition processes utilizes, at least in part, one or more people clustering processes.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the selection of the image is received from an uploading user, wherein the uploading user is associated with a set of social connections via a social networking system, and wherein the one or more facial recognition processes utilizes, at least in part, one or more face models associated with a subset of social connections out of the set of social connections.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the subset of social connections includes a specified quantity of highest ranked social connections, and wherein each social connection in the set is ranked based on at least one of a social coefficient metric for each social connection relative to the uploading user, a social affinity metric for each social connection relative to the uploading user, a social interaction recency metric for each social connection relative to the uploading user, or location data associated with each social connection.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier is utilized, at least in part, to define a set of images such that each image in the set includes a respective object associated with the identifier.

11 . A system comprising:
at least one processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
receiving a selection of an image;
detecting an object included in the image;
extracting, from the image, an image portion that includes the object;
providing to one or more servers remote from the computing system the image portion for image analysis based on one or more object recognition processes performed, at least in part, via the one or more servers remote from the computing system; and
receiving an identifier for the object, the identifier being determined based on the one or more object recognition processes being applied to the image portion.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the system to further perform:
presenting the image and the identifier; providing one or more options to modify at least one of the identifier or information associated with the image; receiving an upload command to upload the image; and transmitting the image and the identifier subsequent to receiving the upload command.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more object recognition processes are performed, at least in part, via one or more remote servers.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the object includes a face of a user represented in the image, wherein the one or more object recognition processes include one or more facial recognition processes, and wherein the identifier includes a name associated with the user.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the selection of the image is received from an uploading user, wherein the uploading user is associated with a set of social connections via a social networking system, and wherein the one or more facial recognition processes utilizes, at least in part, one or more face models associated with a subset of social connections out of the set of social connections.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform:
receiving a selection of an image; detecting an object included in the image; extracting, from the image, an image portion that includes the object; providing to one or more servers remote from the computing system the image portion for image analysis based on one or more object recognition processes performed, at least in part, via the one or more servers remote from the computing system; and receiving an identifier for the object, the identifier being determined based on the one or more object recognition processes being applied to the image portion.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions cause the system to further perform:
presenting the image and the identifier; providing one or more options to modify at least one of the identifier or information associated with the image; receiving an upload command to upload the image; and transmitting the image and the identifier subsequent to receiving the upload command.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more object recognition processes are performed, at least in part, via one or more remote servers.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the object includes a face of a user represented in the image, wherein the one or more object recognition processes include one or more facial recognition processes, and wherein the identifier includes a name associated with the user.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the selection of the image is received from an uploading user, wherein the uploading user is associated with a set of social connections via a social networking system, and wherein the one or more facial recogni
