Abstract
Techniques are provided for facial recognition using a high probability group database and a facial network of related persons. One method comprises maintaining a probability-based database of facial images comprising a subset of individuals from a first database of facial images of a plurality of individuals based on a probability of individuals appearing in sequences of image frames at a given time; applying a face detection algorithm to at least one sequence of image frames to identify one or more faces in the sequences of image frames; maintaining a facial network of related persons associated with the probability-based database by obtaining facial images of one or more additional individuals from the first database that satisfy a predefined related person criteria with respect to individuals identified in at least one sequence of image frames; and applying a facial recognition to at least sequence of image frames using at least the probability-based database and the facial network of related persons to identify individuals in the sequence of image frames.
