Abstract—This paper increase the accuracy of matching the weakly labelled wed facial images .The weakly labeled facial
images are freely available on the Internet . Semi Global matching and mutual information will improve the retrieval accuracy of image
retrieval systems. The most challenging problem for search-based face annotation scheme is to retrieve the most similar facial images
and weakly labeled images. The noisy and incomplete images are called weakly labelled images. To overcome the above issues, Semi
Global Matching on Mutual information are used to improve the accuracy. The learning problem formulates as a convex optimization
and mutual information develops effective optimization algorithms to solve the large-scale learning task efficiently.
Keywords — Automatic Image Annotation, Semi Global matching, Mutual Information , search-based face annotation.

The auto face annotation technique is used in videos to
detect any one of particular person appeared in that video to
promote video recovery and definition task. In order to
achieve good face annotation result for all photos the user
should need the identity of each individual is the main
constrain of the semi auto face annotation.By using this
techniques, it is highly unmanageable and time consuming
for many practical application which contain huge amount
of data.Therefore ,web image mining is quickly attain extra
awareness among the analyser in the field of data mining,
information recover and inter media datasets. The web facial
images contain some important features because of the
richness of the data that an image can show.Effective
analysis of the outcome of web facial image mining by
content needs that the user point of view is used on the
performance framework.
This paper motivates and explain the semi global
matching(SGM) techniques which offers a good trade of
between accuracy and run time and is therefore well suited
for many practical applications . The rest of the paper is
organized as follows: Section II review work related to semi
global mating on mutual information.Section III reviews

reviews the conclusion and future work.
Introduction
The images plays a major role in every day
business such as organization images, space station images,
medicial images and so on .On surveying this data ,which
recover only the needed information to the users. But, there
are some problem to gather those data in right way. The
collected information is not processed further for any
inference due to incomplete data. In another end, image
recover in web mining is the fast growing and challenging
research area with regard to both moving and unmoving
images.
This matching method is again applied by some
analyser and firm .This methods provide a good trade off
between runtime and accuracy.It also focus to develop new
approach that maintain a strong searching and scanning of
many digital image libraries based on automatically derived
image features.User can examine the input images based on
the features of the images like shape of eyes ,mouth and so
no . By parallel comparison the final image from the image
depository is recovered.Having humans manually annotate
images by entering keywords or metadata in a large
database is time consuming and may not capture the
keywords desired to describe the image. The analysisof the
benefit of image search is unlearned and has not been
defined .In many real word application automatic face

pixelwise matching for maintaining sharp object border and
fine shapes andcan be implemented efficiently on different
computation hardware. The configuration of this SGM

only depend upon number of pixel values not on disparity
images. Due to this method ,matching of huge images in one
piece will reduce the needed memory frequency. The feature
cost is 50% more compute operations as compared to SGM. A
similar application to detect the missing data in medical
images was worked upon in one of the research paper [11].
This concept has been analysed and could be applied to web
facial images.
This paper express the Semiglobal Matching (SGM)
method. It uses pixelwise matching on the mutual information
for radiometric difference of input images [6]. Pixelwise
matching is supported by a smoothness constraint that is
normally indicated as a global cost function. SGM achieve a
quick approximation by pixelwise improvement from all
directions. The study also containocclusion detection, subpixel refinement, and multi-baseline matching.The procedure
for large images and fusion of arbitrary images are presented.

results in a runtime of just 1-2 seconds on test images
III .METHODOLOGY
A. Face Recognition Algorithm:
Initially collecting a large dataset (web facial
images)from world wide web. A automatic/semi-automatic
face annotation is to integrate face recognition algorithms
used face recognition technology to sort faces by their
similarity to a chosen face or trained face model, reducing
user workload to searching faces that belongs to the same
person.After collecting the facial images extracting the face
related information, face region and features of the faces and
so on. For detecting the face unsupervised label refinement
technique is used.In the search based face annotation ,
clustering based approximation algorithm is used. This will
increase the efficiency . The main disadvantage of using this
technique is run time. This will search all the similar images
completely in the data set so need long time to rectifying the
images. Some indexing technique are used for rectifying the
Information based matching, which is almost as quick as
intensity based matching. Finally , a global cost calculation
is estimated and presented that can be executed in time that
is linear to the total number of pixels and disparities.The
execution need just one second on classic images.
most similar facial images. This technique should use the
length of the features of faces for face recognition.
B. Semi Global Matching Method(SGM)
Semi Global Matching (SGM) algorithm based on
mutual information of HeikoHirschmuller will combine the
concept of local and global stereo methods for pixelwise
matching and accuracy at low run time. This algorithm will
considers the pair of images with extrinsic and intrinsic
orientation. This method has been implemented for rectified
and unrectified images.The large set of images is handled
effectively to easily capture, storage, search, analysis, and
visualization of large data. The new techniques need to make
use of parallel computing concepts in order to be able to scale
with increasing data set sizes.
The objectives of accurate stereo matching,
especially at object boundaries, robustness against recording
or illumination changes and efficiency of the calculation.
These objectives lead to the proposed Semi- Global Matching
method that performs pixel wise matching based on Mutual
Information and the approximation of a global smoothness
constraint. Occlusions are detected and disparities determined
with sub-pixel accuracy.
C. Pixel wise value calculation:
The matching value is calculated for the base imagepixel o
from its strengthIbOand the suspected correspondence Iwnat
n=ebw(o;d) of the match image. The function
ebw(o;p)indicates the epipolar line in the match image for the
input
image pixel o with the line parameter p.The
valuePBT(o;p) is considered as the totalsmallestvariance of
forces at oandn= ebw(o;p) in the range of partial number of
pixel in each way along the epipolar line. Otherwise the
matching valuedesign is depend uponon Mutual
Information(MI) , which is hard to copy and radiance changes.
It is defined from the entropy E of two images .
MII1,I2 = EI1 +EI2 -EI1,I2
From the probability distributions DIof intensities of
the related images the entropies are calculated. The blurred
images are show in following figure 1.The probability
distribution DImust not be calculatedover the whole images
M1 and M2, but only over the corresponding parts (otherwise
occlusions would be ignored and EM1 and EM2 would be
almost constant). That is done by grouping the corresponding
rows and columns of the joined probability distribution, e.g.
DM1(i) =
The resulting definition of Mutual
Information is,
MII1,I2 =
wiI1,I2 (i,k) = gI1 (i)+gI2 (k)-gI1,I2 (i,k).
Which is defined as Mutual Information Matching cost.

quiet contain certainfault.In order to rectify from the fault the
unacceptable area are required to be eliminated from the
disparity images . These two procedures are handel earlier
before the disparity image.
Disparity images can encloseunacceptabledisparities

when compare to the surrounding disparities, that is peak. In
the disparity images fig.3 small size value are represented as
aeffectivedisparitiy.For identifying peaks, the disparity image
is divided by permitting the closed disparities within one
segmentto vary by one pixel. The disparities of all segments
under a definiteproportionsare set to not valid.

This result improve theretrival accuracy of images. In
order to improve the consistency of the disparities some
smallest set can be imposed ,if sufficient matching images are
available. The pixel in the images which do not complete the
standards are invalid. The pixel value of the features in the
images are used for matching the input image with all match

E. Multi baseline matching:
This algorithm could be stretched for multi-baseline
matchingbycomputing a collective pixelwise matching cost
between the input image and all matchimage. The difficulty
would have to be solved on the pixelwise matching level. So
the multi-baselinematching is done by pixelwise matching

Performance Evaluation:
The semi Global matching method need temporary
memory for storing the matching cost, disparity images and
storing pixelwise matching costs,aggregated costs.The size of
temporary memory depends on disparity image value or pixel
value. Thus,even adequate image sizes of 1 MPixel with
disparity rangesof several 100 pixel needhugeshort-term

result is tosplit the input image into tiles, calculating the
disparity ofeach tile seperatlyandcombine the tiles together
into the full disparity image before fusion. Therefore little
disparities is needed for each tile when compare to the whole
image. In SGM the time and accuracy should be improved
when compare to other method.

IV. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
The weakly labelled images is easily rectified by using semi
global matching (SGM) algorithm.SGM is much faster and
more accessible when compare to methods.By using semi
global matching on weakly labeled web facial images the
accuracy will be increased .It will reduce the run time .The
SGM algorithm will recover the most similar images based
on the input from the dataset.The temporary memory is
needed in SGM for storing the disparity images that depends
on the number of pixels and the disparity range. The matching
is done accurately when compare to other methd. Therefore
this method is applicable for many real time application .This
