We propose a user interaction technique for the fast and intuitive formation of visual queries for retrieving photos that have faces. A face icon is used to represent a face in a photo. A user forms an “iconic sketch” of the desired photo, by placing face icons on a canvas-like region and adjusting their sizes and locations. A search algorithm matches the properties of these icons with those of faces automatically detected in image collections. It retrieves the results ranked by the similarity of matching. We summarise a few example applications based on the proposed interaction technique.
