N2 - Automatic face identification in multimedia archives such as broadcast news videos is useful for indexing or retrieving documents based on important persons that appear in the video. In this paper, we propose a system which automatically detects a list of important targets such as anchor speakers or active politicians in broadcast news videos. This involves several steps including detecting faces in various conditions, associating faces to tracks and identifying whether a face track contains certain faces defined in a watch list. We evaluated this system on a database, which contains about 36 hours of broadcast news videos. Experiments show that our system achieves a very high precision with a reasonable recall rate.
