VISUAL LANGUAGE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Disclosed are a method and system for automated classification of a digital image. The method analyzes the image for the presence of a human face. A determination is then made regarding the size of the located face compared to the size of the image to classify the image based on the relative size of the face. Alternatively, the position of the face within the image can be used to determine the classification. With a classified image, particularly forming part of a sequence of classified images, editing of the sequence may be performed dependent upon the classification to achieve a desired aesthetic effect. The editing may be performed with the aid of an editing template.
