AUTOMATIC METADATA DETECTOR BASED ON IMAGES

Abstract:

A system, method and computer program product for accessing content. The method comprises processing at least one image with a classifier, and, in response to the at least one image being processed by the classifier, outputting from the classifier a value indicative of the likelihood that the at least one image belongs to at least one classification. The method also comprises determining whether the at least one image belongs to the at least one classification, based on the value, and accessing predetermined content when it is determined that the at least one image belongs to the at least one classification. Images may be classified by, e.g., genre, musical album, concept, or the like, and, in cases where an image belongs to any such classes, predetermined content (e.g., metadata and/or an audio track) relating thereto is identified and presented to the user.
