Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automatic selection of canonical digital images from a large corpus of digital images, such as the corpus of digital images available on the web, for an entity, such as and without limitation a person, a point of interest, object, etc. The automated, unsupervised approach for selecting a diverse set of high quality, canonical digital images, is well suited for processing a large corpus of digital images. A set of canonical digital images identified for an entity can be retrieved in response to a digital image request for digital images depicting the entity.
