###### tags: Paper Reading # Search-engine-for-large-coleection-of-image &#160; &#160;This paper is talking about how to build a large face Image search engine. ## Introduction/Motivation &#160; &#160; Nowadays, lots of image take by users are released to social network. While the number of image growing, how to maintain and search a image become a problem, especially in searching image with human face. This paper announce a large collections of image with face. We can learn some tricks from the construction of process. ## Database &#160; &#160; Although the detail of creating a search engine is also wonderful part of the paper , but I will focus on the preprocess of the image on this paper. If you want details of database, please go to read **section 3**. ## Classification trick &#160; &#160; The preprocess of image of the engine is a most important tick that we should learn. This paper create <span class="blue">**rich set of local feature**</span> options for classifiers instead of send <span class="red">**whole pixels of the face**</span> into classifier. This is a very novel point of view for me. &#160; &#160; The idea of this policy is that while we don’t know which feature is a good choice of the attribute. Why not we split the face into some local features, and let machine learn which local feature is important? &#160; &#160; Taking the advantage of adaboost, we can realize previous idea. The paper also provide some options for classifier like * face regions, * types of pixel data, * normalizations * aggregations. &#160; &#160; ![](https://i.imgur.com/0zsRRex.png) ## Conclusion &#160; &#160; After training the classifier we can know which feature is useful for the attribute that we call it explainable AI. <style> .blue { color: blue; } .red { color: red; } </style>
