An improved image tagging system that tags images in a mobile handheld communications device, based on the user's contacts list stored therein. The image tagging system compares a face in a given picture (that the user has just taken using the built-in camera) to faces in the user's contacts list images. A matching contact is found in the contacts list. The picture is then tagged with information from the matching contact. The picture is tagged by inserting identification information into a header of the picture.

A global tag for an image is received identifies one or more objects in the image, and a region-specific tag for the image identifies one or more objects in a region of the image. The global tag and the region-specific tag are stored with the image. Displayed, along with the image, is an identifier for each of the one or more objects identified in the global tag, and an identifier for each of the one or more objects identified in the region-specific tag. Different users are able to maintain different names for the same person, allowing the same tag of the image to be used as the basis for displaying the image with different names for the different users. Additionally, the tags can be used as a basis for generating a credits list of people that are included in a compilation of images.

Identifying objects in images is a difficult problem, particularly in cases an original image is noisy or has areas narrow in color or grayscale gradient. A technique employing a convolutional network has been identified to identify objects in such images in an automated and rapid manner.

Multi-scale processing may be used to reduce the memory and computational requirements of optimization algorithms for image labeling, for example, for object segmentation, 3D reconstruction, stereo correspondence, optical flow and other applications. For example, in order to label a large image (or 3D volume) a multi-scale process first solves the problem at a low resolution, obtaining a coarse labeling of an original high resolution problem. This labeling is refined by solving another optimization on a subset of the image elements. In examples, an energy function for a coarse level version of an input image is formed directly from an energy function of the input image. In examples, the subset of image elements may be selected using a measure of confidence in the labeling.
