摘要:
An exemplary method for extracting discriminant feature of samples includes providing data for samples in a multidimensional space; based on the data, computing local similarities for the samples; mapping the local similarities to weights; based on the mapping, formulating an inter-class scatter matrix and an intra-class scatter matrix; and based on the matrices, maximizing the ratio of inter-class scatter to intra-class scatter for the samples to provide discriminate features of the samples. Such a method may be used for classifying samples, recognizing patterns, or other tasks. Various other methods, devices, system, etc., are also disclosed.

An interactive photo annotation method uses clustering based on facial similarities to improve annotation experience. The method uses a face recognition algorithm to extract facial features of a photo album and cluster the photos into multiple face groups based on facial similarity. The method annotates a face group collectively using annotations, such as name identifiers, in one operation. The method further allows merging and splitting of face groups. Special graphical user interfaces, such as displays in a group view area and a thumbnail area and drag-and-drop features, are used to further improve the annotation experience.
摘要:
Systems and methods are described for a face annotation framework with partial clustering and interactive labeling. In one implementation, an exemplary system automatically groups some images of a collection of images into clusters, each cluster mainly including images that contain a person's face associated with that cluster. After an initial user-labeling of each cluster with the person's name or other label, in which the user may also delete/label images that do not belong in the cluster, the system iteratively proposes subsequent clusters for the user to label, proposing clusters of images that when labeled, produce a maximum information gain at each iteration and minimize the total number of user interactions for labeling the entire collection of images.

Systems and methods are described for robust online face tracking. In one implementation, a system derives multiple resolutions of each video frame of a video sequence portraying movement of a visual object. The system tracks movement of the visual object in a low resolution as input for tracking the visual object in a higher resolution. The system can greatly reduce jitter while maintaining an ability to reliably track fast-moving visual objects.

An efficient, effective and at times superior object detection and/or recognition (ODR) function may be built from a set of Bayesian stumps. Bayesian stumps may be constructed for each feature and object class, and the ODR function may be constructed from the subset of Bayesian stumps that minimize Bayesian error for a particular object class. That is, Bayesian error may be utilized as a feature selection measure for the ODR function. Furthermore, Bayesian stumps may be efficiently implemented as lookup tables with entries corresponding to unequal intervals of feature histograms. Interval widths and entry values may be determined so as to minimize Bayesian error, yielding Bayesian stumps that are optimal in this respect.

Methods and systems are provided for selecting features that will be used to recognize faces. Three-dimensional models are used to synthesize a database of virtual face images. The virtual face images cover wide appearance variations, different poses, different lighting conditions and expression changes. A joint boosting algorithm is used to identify discriminative features by selecting features from the plurality of virtual images such that the identified discriminative features are independent of the other images included in the database.
