Description

Photo sharing is the publishing or transfer of a user’s digital photos online. Photo-sharing websites offer services such as uploading, hosting, managing and sharing of photos. This function is provided through both websites and applications that facilitate the upload and display of images. The term can also be loosely applied to the use of online photo galleries that are set up and managed by individual users, including photo blogs. Sharing means that other users can view but not necessarily download the photos, users being able to select different copyright options for their photos. Unfortunately, it may leak user’s privacy if they are allowed to post, comment, and tag a photo freely. To address this problem, this project proposes an efficient facial recognition system that can recognize everyone in the photo. Online photo sharing applications are increasingly popular, offering users new and innovative ways to share photos with a variety of people. Many social networking sites are also incorporating photo sharing features, allowing users to very easily upload and post photos for their friends and families. This systems are focusing on these privacy concerns and needs, as well as exploring ideas for privacy protection mechanisms, for users of social networking sites such as Facebook. In understanding user’s current concerns and behaviors, we can design tools they desire, adopt, and ones they will be motivated to use.
