Remotely identifying a location of a wearable apparatus

Abstract

A wearable apparatus and methods may analyze images. In one implementation, a wearable apparatus for capturing and processing images may comprise a wearable image sensor configured to capture a plurality of images from an environment of a user of the wearable apparatus and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device may be programmed to: analyze the plurality of images to identify a plurality of people; analyze the plurality of images to determine an affinity level between the user and each of the plurality of people; obtain an image representation of each of the plurality of people; and generate, based on the affinity levels, a visualization comprising the image representation
