Here you can either type in the name of an existing People tag out of your tag tree or use the drop down function to show your tag tree and select a tag. If it really is a face the field labeled Who Is This? comes into play. The digiKam Face Tags Edit From Icon-View ¶ This is the case with the screenshot above take in preview mode. If there is more than one face tag on the image it will also be represented by more than one thumbnail. If you don’t see them, click the people button in the upper left corner of the preview. In the preview that opens you will see the whole image with all the face tags on them. You can see that if you click on the thumbnail. They show the area of the image where the scan algorithm put down a Face Tag.

Note that the thumbnails presented here are not showing the whole image. Screencast of digiKam Faces Detection Process Running Over Collections and Populating the Database ¶ If you just scanned for the first time you will find the whole result also here. In the tree you will see a new virtual tag called Unknown which will show all those images where faces are recognized but not yet connected to a person. You will see the whole scan result only if the topmost tag People is selected. In the Tags list of the Left Sidebar you will see the People branch of your tag tree. Once you have chosen your options carefully you click Scan and after a while, depending on the scope of your selection, the result will be presented in the Image Area. The second is for face recognition, see next chapter. The first is explained by the text above it. Under Advanced you will find two check-boxes. A higher specificity implies higher accuracy, however this results in a smaller set of results. In Settings you can adjust the Face Accuracy with a balance between Sensitivity and Specificity that suits your needs. In Search-In you can confine the scan to certain albums or tags. An additional area will fold out organized with three tabs. Since face detection is a time-consuming task you better don’t hit Scan right away, rather Options. It’s only used for face detection, especially to detect very small faces, blurry faces, or group photos with many faces.įor the task we are talking about you check Detect Faces, of course. Only turn on this option if you hardware can supports intensive computations. The deep-learning YOLO v3 model is more powerful but it’s time and CPU consuming. At least a minimum of 5 similar faces tagged in different images must be trained for an automatic recognition workflow. You may now manually identify a few of these faces and then proceed for face recognition. The third is more interesting in the context of Face Recognition since Unconfirmed results means face tags that don’t have a name assigned to them yet.Īfter the Face Scan is complete, you should see a new tag Unknown where the results of the face scan will appear. The second you would choose if you want the images already scanned to be included in the next scan. by removing face tags which obviously don’t show a face. The first option you would choose if you didn’t scan yet or if you did with a satisfying result but added new photographs since then or if you already improved a search result, e.g. The digiKam Face Management Workflow View ¶ This would re-scan all images again, and is time consuming.Ĭlear Unconfirmed Results And Rescan: remove all faces registered in database with no name and process again an analysis.Ĭlear all Previous Results and Rescan: remove all previous faces registered in database and process again an analysis. Scan Again And Merge Results: choose this option if the results of the previous scan weren’t accurate. Skip Images Already Scanned: choose this option if you haven’t scanned yet or if the last scan yielded good results but you would like to scan new images.
