-Research is going on to improve face-detection and face-matching algorithms, for eventual incorporation into Vesuvius/PeopleLocator and other projects.+Research is going on to develop and improve face-detection and face-matching algorithms.  Such computer algorithms may ideally help current and future projects involved with preparedness, disaster response, family reunification, and medical assistance, including Sahana Vesuvius and its manifestation as NLM’s People Locator (PL).

 +To assist with algorithm training/testing and in establishing “ground truth”, you are asked to annotate images of faces with drawn rectangles, or judge such annotations.  A web tool, “ImageStats”, has been built for this, using part of the Vesuvius/PL infrastructure and additional open-source components.  Once GCI starts, a customized-for-GCI version will be available at:

-A typical task might involve 400 images, in which you would be asked to draw a rectangle around each face (there may be more than one in an image) and indicate whether it is a front or profile view.  Some judgement can be involved in both aspects.+A typical task would involve approximately 400 images, each of which has one or more faces.  For each face, you must ensure that there is an appropriately-placed rectangle around it, with the rectangle’s color marking it as a front or profile view. Some judgement can be involved in both aspects.
