Definition:Analyzing person information in news video includes the identification of various attributes of a person, such as face detection and recognition, face-name association, and others.

Introduction

Person information analysis for news videos, including face detection and recognition, face-name association, etc., has attracted many researchers in the video indexing field. One reason for this is the importance of person information. In our social interactions, we use face as symbolic information to identify each other. This strengthens the importance of face among many types of visual information, and thus face image processing has been intensively studied for decades by image processing and computer vision researchers. As an outcome, robust face detection and recognition techniques have been proposed. Therefore, face information in news videos is rather more easily accessible compared to the other types of visual information.

In addition, especially in news, person information is...
