Abstract

The human face is an object that is easily located in complex scenes by humans and adults alike. Yet the development of an automated system to perform this task is extremely challenging. This paper is about developing computational procedures to locate human faces in newspaper photographs where scenes are often cluttered making object location non-trivial. On the other hand, the task is made feasible by constraints which follow naturally from rules in photo-journalism. Faces identified by the caption are clearly depicted without occlusion and contrast against the background and sizes of faces fall within a fixed range depending on the dimensions of the photograph and the number of people featuring in it.
