Title
Face Recognition in Videos by Label Propagation
Abstract
We consider the problem of automatic identification of faces in videos such as movies, given a dictionary of known faces from a public or an alternate database. This has applications in video indexing, content based search, surveillance, and real time recognition on wearable computers. We propose a two stage approach for this problem. First, we recognize the faces in a video using a sparse representation framework using l1-minimization and select a few key-frames based on a robust confidence measure. We then use transductive learning to propagate the labels from the key-frames to the remaining frames by incorporating constraints simultaneously in temporal and feature spaces. This is in contrast to some of the previous approaches where every test frame/track is identified independently, ignoring the correlation between the faces in video tracks. Having a few key frames belonging to few subjects for label propagation rather than a large dictionary of actors reduces the amount of confusion. We evaluate the performance of our algorithm on Movie Trailer face dataset and five movie clips, and achieve a significant improvement in labeling accuracy compared to previous approaches.
