Grouping images by a person appearing on them

python

asked 2018-05-07 09:52:12 -0600

In my dataset of images there are different figures of people appearing over time. Is it possible to group those images into groups of 1.group of images with person x, 2.group of images with person y, etc.?

If yes, could you please point me in a right direction?

Thanks

Is there something that can discriminate between them? For example, image name. However this is not a question related to OpenCV.

The answer is simple, yes it is possible.

First detect persons in images. This can be done with tons of techniques but I suggest the deep learning ones like SSD or YOLO.
Then for each detection you will need a descriptor on that.
Either use one descriptor as reference and find all matches in your other images.
OR use a clustering algorithm and define how many people will appear (fixed clusters) or set some decision on the distance of cluster matching.

Nevertheless, a first step will be for you to start googling and read up on the topic :)
