Full title of the presentation: Automated Tagging of Image and Video Collections using Face Recognition at the BFI archive
The BFI National Archive holds a collection of 1.3 million film and television stills, including portraits of cinema's most iconic actors as well as on-set photographs from thousands of films. Identifying the people in the stills would be impossible to achieve manually, so the BFI is working with Oxford University Robots visual geometry group to explore a computer vision and machine learning solution. This presentation describes how Deep Learning technologies can be used to automatically label people in images from the BFI archive by their faces. Furthermore, the presenters then describe how the results of the automatic labeling can be combined with existing cast metadata associated with the films, in order to filter the results further and even correct the existing metadata. Examples of a similar processing being applied to video collections is also presented.
