Synopsis

Instagram is one of the famous and fast-growing media sharing platforms. Instagram allows users to share photos and videos with followers. There are plenty of ways to search for images on Instagram, but one of the most familiar ways is ’hashtag.’ Hashtag search enables the users to find the precise search result on Instagram. However, there are no rules for using the hashtag; that is why it often does not match the uploaded image, and for this reason, Users are unable to find the relevant search results. This research aims to filter any human face images on search results based on hashtags on Instagram. Our study extends the author’s [2] work by implementing image processing techniques that detect human faces and separate the identified images on search results based on hashtags using the face detection technique.
