A social digital photo frame has been developed. This frame displays automatically the pictures of social network site friends. This way social network sites are integrated in the living area of a person. To check this concept, social network sites, photo frames, privacy, sharing and connectedness are questioned in interviews involving five people in the age 20-30. Also some small assignments f...

Digital Image Processing plays a vital role in several applications. One of the applications is detection of people faces in a digital photo. Several research works have been progressing in the field of face identification and matching, facial expressions identification, smile detection, etc. Any application related to face, first step is detection of face. Thus, the face detection plays a key ...

This article demonstrates the need always to consider change against continuity and continuity against change in the analysis of mnemonic technologies. It does so by exploring what has happened in the move from analogue to digital photography, looking, in particular, at how this has affected the meanings of personal photographs and the practices of remembering associated with them. In contrast ...

Image based sketch-to-photo synthesis has received intensive attentions in recent years because of its potential applications on both digital entertainment and law enforcement. In this paper, we study the hallucination of face photos from a collection of face sketches. Before the hallucinating synthesis, a coupled dictionary is learned from a set of training photo-sketch pairs for modelling the...

Recent advances in technology have made it possible for the average person to acquire thousands of high resolution digital photographs per year. While there are clear advantages to having the ability to amass such large collections it creates new problems when trying to organize, browse and generally interact with the photos. In this paper we introduce the concept of a Photo Collage Tree, a str...

Photo is taken as memory of life and lives are the units of history. The value of photo fades away when the content becomes unrecognizable and context is lost over time. In this digital era, it has become easy to build contextual information for each photo with the process of annotating metadata. This paper proposes some aspects and techniques for semi-automatic photo annotation addressing seve...

This paper reports recent work at AT&T to develop a system for the management of personal digital photograph collections. Shoebox, the resulting software package, provides a range of browsing and searching facilities, utilising spoken annotations and image content to enable both semantically similar and visually similar images to be retrieved. We report on the design of the system, the construc...

The last few decades has witnessed a dizzying rate of technological innovation in the areas of computing and communication. While the effects of cheaper and faster computation power manifest explicitly in many places, slightly less obvious are the technological advances in sensor and signal processing technologies. Their impact is being increasingly felt in the form of digitization of all forms...
