System and method for candidate sorting and clustering

摘要

A system for organizing a plurality of candidates based on the relative similarity of a first candidate with respect to the remaining plurality of candidates is disclosed. The system includes a controller in communication with a storage device configured to receive and accessibly store a generated plurality of candidate images. The controller operable to analyze each of the plurality of candidate images to determined a numeric thumbnail based on a number of identified features in each of a plurality of grid elements of an array and a sum total number of all identified features in the array, calculate a similarity score between one of the plurality of determined numeric thumbnails and each of the remaining plurality of determined numeric thumbnails; and generate a logical group image order as a function of the highest similarity score between the one of the plurality of determined numeric thumbnails and each of the remaining plurality of determined numeric thumbnails.

1. A system for organizing a plurality of candidate images based on the relative similarity of each of the plurality of candidate images with respect to the remaining of the plurality of candidate images, the system comprising:
a controller in communication with a storage device configured to receive and accessibly store a generated plurality of candidate images, wherein the controller is operable to: analyze each of the plurality of candidate images to sub-divide the candidate image into a plurality of grid elements of an array and determine a corresponding numeric thumbnail for the candidate image, the corresponding numeric thumbnail being based on a number of identified features in each of the plurality of grid elements and a sum total number of all identified features in all of the plurality of grid elements; calculate a similarity score between each of the plurality of determined numeric thumbnails and the remaining plurality of determined numeric thumbnails; and generate a logical group image order as a function of the highest similarity score between each of the plurality of determined numeric thumbnails and the remaining plurality of determined numeric thumbnails.
