Increase face recognition hit rate

Anders Stedtlund
Hi,

I have started to use the face detection/recognition features in
digiKam 2.0.0 and now I'm wondering on how to increase the hit rate
for the recognition. As it is now it's 0 %.

digiKam has detected just over 4000 face and I have manually added
peoples to a couple of hundred of them but still no luck with the
automatic face recognition.

I have played around with the parameter (Fast/Accurate) but it doesn't
seem to do anything to the result. Do I have to search and merge more?
Do I have to manually add tags to more faces? Both takes some time
though...

/Anders

Dont spend your energy - you'll not get more than 0% at the moment.
We have a SoK student working on this field. It's not a trivial problem as you
may imagine - good algorithms implemented in free code and applicable to real-
world problems are rare.

That´s the state it is in at the moment, as far as I know, never heard
of anybody having success with it. But detecting faces works great, and
as it always suggests the latest applied tag for a face, you can go
pritty quick through all by looking for the same person all the time,
and go for the next one if finished.
If the state of matters has been changed recently I would be happy to
read about it.

Hi Rinus,

You are correct about the last applied tag so that's a little bit easier.

Re: Increase face recognition hit rate

There's a thing that could make our tag faces work easier.

Now, when Digikam suggest that a face matches a tag, it puts that face among the others that you already confirmed as a face to that tag, and makes this without any visual distinction.

Because of it, when you take a general look to a face tag, you can not distinguish faces suggested by Digikam from the ones that you manually confirmed. You need to lay you mouse over the face to identify that isn't confirmed yet.

I think that digikam suggested faces unconfirmed yet must be visually marked to make them easier to identify.

Anyone agrees?

Can dk already recognize/match some faces on your computer?

This will be essential in order to train and improve dk's face match
recognition rate. Only confirmed faces can built the basis for the
recognition. Maybe this has been already implemented?

Another future issue might be the changing appearance of faces within
the life cycle. Different face profiles for one person (e.g. on the
base of the birthday, current age) may become necessary.
