In this paper, we propose a method to cluster digital home photos associated with user-centric functionalities, which are event/situation based photo clustering, category based photo clustering, and person-identity based photo clustering and indexing. The main idea of the user-centric photo album is to enable users to organize and browse their photos along the semantically meaningful axes that are situation, category, and person-identity. Experiment results showed that the proposed method would be useful to organize a photo album based on human perception.
