FaceTracer: A Search Engine for Large Collections of Images with Faces

Project Page: http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE/proj...

We have created the first face search engine, allowing users to search through large collections of images which have been automatically labeled based on the appearance of the faces within them. Our system lets users search on the basis of a variety of facial attributes using natural language queries such as, "men with mustaches," or "young blonde women," or even, "indoor photos of smiling children." This face search engine can be directed at all images on the internet, tailored toward specific image collections such as those used by law enforcement or online social networks, or even focused on personal photo libraries.
