1. A method for image clustering, comprising:
receiving a plurality of images from a video of a game;
determining a first feature vector of a first player from the plurality of images by inputting the plurality of images to an artificial intelligence (AI)-based process;
determining a location information associated with the first player using a pose-estimation technique;
dividing the plurality of images into a first subset of images and a second subset of images based on the first feature vector;
receiving a first identifier tagging the first player in a first image of the first subset; and
identifying a second player in a second image in the second subset by propagating the first identifier of the first subset, based on a distance measure associated with the first feature vector from the AI-based process, wherein the AI-based process is based on the location information.
