System and method for enabling image searching using manual enrichment, classification, and/or segmentation

This invention describes a computer system that helps organize and search images. It works by first automatically analyzing images to find information within them, then human editors can review multiple images at once on a special screen to correct any mistakes the computer made. The claims specifically focus on detecting people in images, figuring out who they are or what category they belong to, and identifying what they are wearing.

Why it matters: Filed before modern deep learning revolutionized computer vision. The ability to automatically detect people and analyze their clothing, which was challenging in 2009, is now significantly more accurate and efficient with current AI models.
