Face Annotation
It is a project that I proposed during my internship at MSRA in 2002/2003, is a tool to help users to annotate their photos. Automatic annotation of photographs is one of the most desirable needs in family photograph management systems. This project aims to build a tool for semi-automated face annotation in family photo album. The basic idea is to detect all the faces in a photo album and help users to annotate these detected faces for future retrieval. Based on the Bayesian similarity measure, which integrates face recognition and content-based image retrieval, the system is able to provide both face annotation and similar face retrieval, and thus significantly improve the management of family albums.
