Abstract

A method and system are disclosed for accessing a collection of images in a database. In accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention, each of the images is sorted (105) into one of a plurality of time-based clusters. A weighted quality metric is used (120) to assign to each image a quality number as a function of an image analysis heuristic. A representative image (402) is automatically selected (125) from each time-based cluster based on the quality number.
