Abstract
In this paper, we propose a framework to semi-automatically annotate faces in family photo albums. The core of the framework is the features used to define face similarity and this results in the learning algorithm used to refine automatic face annotation. We have adopted similarity based search and relevance feedback ideas developed for content-based image retrieval and a set of simple yet effective color and texture based features, in addition to the traditional face recognition features, in performing candidate annotation search. The experimental evaluation of the proposed approach has been conducted with a family album of 1707 photos and the results show that the proposed approach is an effective and efficient one for semi-automatic family photo album annotation.Keywords
