Towards a privacy preserving personal photo album manager with semantic classification, indexing and querying capabilities

This paper presents the prototype of a personal photo album manager that we build over three years. It integrates state of the art techniques of both database systems and computer vision to propose to publishers a privacy preserving sharable photo album manager where the publisher decides what each user is allowed to see. In addition, the photo album manager provides tools for an easy semantic annotation, classification and querying of the images.
