# 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.
