Project plan
The final goal is to present the user with a way to navigate the collection and understand who the people is the photos are and what life they lived. We develop a website that provides the user with 4 core functionalities.
- An overview of the most famous individuals in the collection
- A search page to explore individuals based on tag matching
- A cluster view of individuals in the database, based on their looks
- A way to upload ones image and find ones’ doppelgänger in the collection
To make this vision reality, we went through 4 stages in the processing, namely fetching the data, processing it, storing and serving data and front end development.
The fetching can easily be done using the wrapper provided by Raphaël Barman.
- Preprocessing involves processing of the metadata to extract tags as well as processing of the images to obtain a vector encoding of an individual's face using OpenFace, extracting age and gender using the pyAgender python library and cropping it using OpenCV.
- Storing the data involves Sqlite and Django ORM Django ORM
- Serving the data: Django
- Front end development uses Bootstrap to enable quick and beautiful UI design and D3.js for displaying the FaceMap. We organized the tasks according to the following schedule and milestones.
