ABSTRACT
Automatic annotation of photographs is one of the most desirable needs in family photograph management systems. In this paper, we present a learning framework to automate the face annotation in family photograph albums. Firstly, methodologies of content-based image retrieval and face recognition are seamlessly integrated to achieve automated annotation. Secondly, face annotation is formulated in a Bayesian framework, in which the face similarity measure is defined as maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation. Thirdly, to deal with the missing features, marginal probability is used so that samples which have missing features are compared with those having the full feature set to ensure a non-biased decision. The experimental evaluation has been conducted within a family album of few thousands of photographs and the results show that the proposed approach is effective and efficient in automated face annotation in family albums.

Efficient propagation for face annotation in family albums
MULTIMEDIA '04: Proceedings of the 12th annual ACM international conference on MultimediaIn this paper, we propose and investigate a new user scenario for face annotation, in which users are allowed to multi-select a group of otogras and assign names to these otogras. The system will then attempt to propagate names from otogra level to face ...
Face annotation for personal photos using context-assisted face recognition
MIR '08: Proceedings of the 1st ACM international conference on Multimedia information retrievalFace annotation for personal photos has a number of potential applications in Multimedia Information Retrieval (MIR). We propose a novel face annotation method that systematically combines contextual information of photos with traditional Face ...
