Abstract

In today’s world, most of the people utilize Online Social Networks (OSN) to mingle with people of their interest. Various new and innovative photo sharing features attract many users and kindle them to post several photos. The user has the privilege of posting any photo on his/her profile and share it with a range of people. Unfortunately, it may leak user’s privacy if others are allowed to post, comment, and tag a photo freely. To address this issue we have proposed a system that would notify OSN users, if any of their friends post a content that involves them. The Face Recognition (FR) system extracts facial features of the user’s friends and gets trained. If the user’s friend posts a photo that includes people other than himself/herself, then that photo is fed into FR system. The system detects all faces in the photo, locates facial details and compares with the faces of the other friends in the list.
