[PYTHON] Object co-localization for face recognition

In this post, I would like to introduce my implementation of "object co-localization" proposed in "Co-localization in Real World Images" [Tang+, CVPR2014]. In particular, I used this co-localization for face recognition. The method aims to find specific people who commonly appear in an image set. Object proposals are generated via face detection. Prior is calculated as the probability of skin pixels.

This implementation requires IBM CPlex to solve a binary quadratic programming problem. As suggested in the original paper, you could rely on a continuous QP instead by modifying __disc_clustering function.

    This class implements "Co-localization in Real World Images" [Tang+, CVPR2014] for localizing people
    who commonly appear in an image set. 
    - Object proposals are generated via face detection.
    - Prior is calculated as the probability of skin pixels.
    - Optimization is done based on IBM CPLex withouth convex relaxation though the original implementation 
    relies on continuous QP instead of BQP.
