1. An event clustering method using foreground and background segmentation for clustering images from a group into similar events, said method including the steps of: (a) segmenting each image into a plurality of regions comprising at least a foreground and a background; (b) extracting one or more features from the regions comprising the foreground and background, said features including at least one of luminosity, color, position and size of the regions; (c) utilizing the features to compute the similarity of the regions comprising the foreground and background of successive images in the group; (d) computing a measure of the total similarity between successive images, thereby providing a measure of image distance between successive images; and (e) delimiting event clusters from the image distances, whereby the event clusters include groups of images pertaining to the same events.
