Face Recognition using MMS-Mobile Devices

Abstract This paper describes a flexible, modular system for processing of multimedia information acquired with mobile devices. The workflow is described using a sample scenario where a user takes a photo with an MMS-capable cell phone, sends it to a corresponding service for face identification, and receives the meta-information via SMS as a response. The main component in this chain is a gateway, which offers interfaces for different networking technologies on the one side and interfaces for various multimedia services on the other side. The design of the gateway considers the fast development of mobile technology by implementing the architecture as open as possible
