Face Annotation Using Unsupervised Label Refinement and Facial Gesture Detection using Eigenfaces Algorithm

Abstract: The development of tools in media have witnessed an explosion of the vast number of digitalized photos .The present work focus only on the annotation of the faces, i.e labeling each image with a name and it does not focus on other aspects like expression, quality of the picture etc. we intent to go for the more useful information of different expressions in face and to categorize the image further into different expressive aspects. A lot of information is conveyed by human beings in the form of facial expression apart from just what is spoken. Proper recognition of such expression has thus become important for any modern human computer interface. We present here a method of facial expression recognition based on Eigen faces.

Keywords: Image mining, gesture detection, face annotation.
