Abstract
A multi-user system and method of processing still images is provided which includes receiving a set of images from, e.g., multiple remote sources having sub-images of faces. Faces are identified as sub-images in the images and the set is then indexed according to each sub-image. Index icons in the form of thumbnail images of identified faces can be used as indexes in retrieving an indexed sub-set of images that have the face of at least one person in common. The indexed images can be retrieved and displayed remotely from a database receiving and storing the images; multiple users can contribute to the database and any allowed user can retrieve indexed sub-sets of the same. Age-progression software is integrated in the system and method for indexing images acquired years or even decades apart. Optional highlighting of the face common to all images in the indexed sub-set is provided.
