Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing targeted advertisements is provided herein. In particular, targeted advertisements are provided to users based on face clustering for time-varying video. During operation video is continuously obtained of users of the system. Users' faces are detected and measured. Measurements of users' faces are then clustered. Once the clusters are available, advertisements are targeted at clusters rather than individual users.
