X Abstract

We present an efficient probabilistic method for identity recognition in personal photo albums. Personal photos are usually taken under uncontrolled conditions - the captured faces exhibit significant variations in pose, expression and illumination that limit the success of traditional face recognition algorithms. We show how to improve recognition rates by incorporating additional cues present in personal photo collections, such as clothing appearance and information about when the photo was taken. This is done by constructing a Markov Random Field (MRF) that effectively combines all available contextual cues in a principled recognition framework. Performing inference in the MRF produces markedly improved recognition results in a challenging dataset consisting of the personal photo collections of multiple people. At the same time, the computational cost of our approach remains comparable to that of standard face recognition approaches.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
