ABSTRACT
Whenever looking at a stranger's portrait, besides observable appearance, we always build a personality impression implicitly in our subconscious. It is quite interesting to ask how a portrait impresses people. This paper presents a novel method to infer personality impression from portrait. Firstly, a questionnaire is applied to demonstrate the consistence of people's impression. And then personality-related features are explored through the statistical analysis method. Finally, features are trained using Support Vector Machine. Experimental results demonstrate our method could achieve a precision of 52.14% and a recall of 52.78% on inferring 4 personalities from 2,463 randomly selected portraits of people downloaded from "Google images". Improvements of 44.04% and 37.91% are reported compared to a baseline method. And features contribution analysis deeply unveils the correspondence between portrait contents and personality impressions. Demonstrations with respect to visual patterns in portrait collages of different personalities further prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. Furthermore, we apply our method to analyze portraits of Hillary Clinton and obtain an interesting multifaceted figure of this famous politics, which is another proof of both our concept and method.
