Digikam face recognition

[Andreas Weigl]

Hi

first of all great job. I love digikam and I am using it for years now.

I am currently on Fedora with digikam 4.2.0. I have to admit I never worked much with the face detection and recognition and wanted to start now but to be honest, I have no idea how it is supposed to work. What is the work flow?

I mean it is easy to tell digikam to start and scan, limit the scan to folders and such, but what then? Whatever digikam find and can not recognize lands in Unknown.

So here a couple of questions:

1. Is there a way to assign a bunch of pictures at once to one people tag? I tried marking a bunch of pictures and dragging them onto the tag but it then assigned unknown.

2. Is there a way to say for a bunch of pictures "these are not faces". The only way I found is doing it one by one.

3. When I hover over a picture I can start to type the name, below I get a list with possible options and create new. If I start to type "And" for "Andreas" and select my name then "And" remains in the search field. To be honest I think every time I assigned "And" instead of the name.

4. How can I view the images that were recognized but are unconfirmed?

5. How do you deal with unknown persons. Do you leave them in unknown? How do I then find the pictures that I have not checked yet? I could assign a people name AAA_unknown or something but would this not mess up the recognition? If i say "it is not a face" (the white x on the red ball in the top right corner of the image) does that have any negative consequences on the detection and recognition?

6. What shortcuts are you guys using

I would be willing to do the documentation but I need to first know how it is supposed to work.

Thanks in advance

Andy

When i marked a lot of pictures and then use the "litle pop up" inside the picture and type someone name, i think i marked all marked pictures to that tag.

Don't know, maybe the same way as i explained before.

I feel the same way, but it assigne right.

There is this wish:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336253

I think of this as a big problem for people that start to use the face recognition software. I can't use yet.
