Face detection locates faces prior to various face- related applications. The objective of face detecti on is to determine whether or not there are any faces in an image and, if any, the location of each face is det ected. Face detection in real images is challenging due to large variability of illumination and face appeara nces. This paper pro...

Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve, which is a representative performance curve, shows the correlation between FP and TP by adjusting parameters of the face detection algorithm as shown in Figure 10.

User Profiling in Online Social Network (OSN) requires the frontal photographs of the users as thier Profile Pictures in Multi-Social Networking. The existing algorithms are ineffective in detecting the facial features like eyes, mouth and nose on the face appropriately, making it inefficient. This work proposes a novel approach to efficiently detect the facial features and improve the effectiveness of face detection and recognition by bifurcating the detected face horizontally, vertically and cropping it. The algorithm is effectively run only on the portion of the detected face Bounded Box (BB) and area to generate bounded boxes of other facial objects and later the Euclidian Distance (ED) between those BBs with respect to that of the face is computed to get Logarithm of Determinant of Euclidian Distance Matrix (LDEDM) in Relative-Distance (RD) method and stored in the database. The LDEDM so computed is unique for every user under consideration and is further utilized for identity matching recognizing from the database. The results show that the Equal Error Rate (EER) is considerably low indicating accurate threshold fixation for better performance with the proposed Relative Distance based User Profiling from Profile Picture (RDUP3) algorithm.

Advances in Online Social Networks is creating huge data day in and out providing lot of opportunities to its users to express their interest and opinion. Due to the popularity and exposure of social networks, many intruders are using this platform for illegal purposes. Identifying such users is challenging and requires digging huge knowledge out of the data being flown in the social media. This work gives an insight to profile users in online social networks. User Profiles are established based on the behavioral patterns, correlations and activities of the user analyzed from the aggregated data using techniques like clustering, behavioral analysis, content analysis and face detection. Depending on application and purpose, the mechanism used in profiling users varies. Further study on other mechanisms used in profiling users is under the scope of future endeavors.

Profiling Online Social Network (OSN) Users by matching their Profile Pictures in Multi-Social Networking requires their own frontal face images in consideration. Present State-of-the-Art algorithms are ineffective in detecting mouth and nose on the face, making it inefficient to be used in matching different faces by localizing their facial features. This work proposes a novel approach to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of face detection by bifurcating the detected face horizontally and vertically. The algorithm runs only on the portion of the detected face Bounded Box (BB) to generate bounded boxes of other facial objects, and later the Euclidian distance between the BBs with respect to that of the face is computed to get Logarithm of Determinant of Euclidian Distance Matrix (LDEDM) in Relative-Distance method and stored in the database. The LDEDM so computed is unique for the user image under consideration and is used for the purpose of matching the identity of the user images from the database. The Equal Error Rate (EER) is considerably low with the proposed User Profiling from Profile Picture (UP3) algorithm indicating better performance.
