Face recognition
Can I merge or de-merge persons recognized by the app?
Yes! The general mechanism for doing this is to assign the same name to both persons.
Mobile
First, make sure one of the two person groupings is assigned a name through the
Add a name banner. Then for the second grouping, use the same banner but now
instead of typing the name again, tap on the already given name that should now
be listed.
De-merging a certain grouping can be done by going to the person, pressing
Review suggestions and then the top right History icon. Now press on the
minus icon beside the group you want to de-merge.
Desktop
Similarly, on desktop you can use the "Add a name" button to merge people by selecting an existing person, and use the "Review suggestions" sheet to de-merge previously merged persons (click the top right history icon on the suggestion sheet to see the previous merges, and if necessary, undo them).
How can I remove an incorrectly grouped face from a person?
On our mobile app, open up the person from the People section, click on the three dots to open up overflow menu, and click on Edit. Now you will be presented with the list of all photos that were merged to create this person.
You can click on the merged photos and select the photos you think are incorrectly grouped (by long-pressing on them) and select "Remove" from the action bar that pops up to remove any incorrect faces.
How do I change the cover for a recognized person?
Mobile
Inside the person group, long-press the image you want to use as cover. Then
press Use as cover.
Desktop
Desktop currently does not support picking a cover. It will default to the most recent image.
Can I tell the app to ignore certain recognized person?
Yes! You can tell the app not to show certain persons.
Mobile
First, make sure the person is not named. If you already gave a name, then first
press Remove person label in the top right menu. Now inside the unnamed
grouping, press Ignore person from the top right menu.
To undo this action, go to a photo containing the person. Go to the file
info section of the photo and press on the face thumbnail of the ignored
person. This will take you to the grouping of this person. Here you can press
Show person to undo ignoring the person.
Desktop
Similarly, on desktop, you use the "Ignore" option from the top right menu to ignore a particular face group (If you already give them a name, "Reset person" first). And to undo this action, open that person (via the file info of a photo containing that person), and select "Show person".
How well does the app handle photos of babies?
The face recognition model we use (or any face recognition model for that matter) is known to struggle with pictures of babies and toddlers. While we can't prevent all cases where this goes wrong, we've added a option to help you correct the model in such cases.
If you find a mixed grouping of several different babies, you can use the
mixed grouping option in the top right menu of said grouping. Activating this
option will make the model re-evaluate the grouping with stricter settings,
hopefully separating the different babies in different new groupings.
Please note this functionality is currently only available on mobile.
