Even if the face looked totally different: gender and/or ethnic origin didn't matter, it was them according to digiKam! There seemed no way to stop this or correct it, and I ended up closing the program, restarting it, deleting that person's tag, and starting again with them. The first time, it thought everyone in the unknown category was the person I'd last tagged - their 'number' was going up and up. Three things have happened to me doing that. (Think 'if I carry on like this, I will have to do them all individually AND THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF FACIAL RECOGNITION'.) (Also notice that even in examples that should be obvious - two JPEGs developed from the same RAW file by different programs, one tagged, and while tagging the second one - it will often have at least two names in bold.) There should be a simpler way to say 'yes, it's them' - display the 'is it this person?' options without having to enter a character, for example.)

(Notice that every time, when you click to tag a face, it will show the name you last tagged, even though it looks like - by putting the names in bold when you type at least one letter - it also has an idea as to who they are. Click on the 'red cross' for ones that aren't. It finds loads of things that it thinks are faces. My attempt at the digiKam 7.0.0b3 workflow, with the default settings for sensitivity etc, was: I see that 7.x has a new facial recognition engine, so go straight to that (why train a system that's about to be obsoleted and presumably isn't as good?) rather than version 6.4. I have just noticed that, since I last looked at it, digiKam started to do facial recognition. It almost always got them right, and it was easy to correct mistakes. If you accept the suggestions - and there's a single click way to say, 'yes, they're all correct' - it will suggest more. Identities with provisional identifications are clearly marked. It will then, without me doing anything, add some faces to identity tags, but mark them as provisional in the folder of the identities concerned.

I am also coming from Picasa (run in a Windows VM, after the Linux version stopped working following various system updates over the years.) Facial recognition is a big reason for having stuck with it for so long: it's much better at putting names to faces than I have ever been.

then rescan another 200 photos this time, update / correct the face tags, then it should be good to do the remainder of your library. The other way to do it is just scan for faces on 100 photos in your library, update all the face tags manually for everyone. Next time you scan for that person it will detect it really well, and the more you scan the better it gets. I found it doesn't detect the presence of faces very well with side profile. Go through the unconfirmed or unknown faces and add that person as well. Manually go through the ones that detected that person and confirm. Now you can click people on the left hand menu, then scan collection for faces (but not your whole library, just a folder or two that has lots of that person in it). Then manually enter the name of the person for the tagĭo this for another 20 photos for that person. I had to teach digikam the faces intially. I guess is good to do it from time to time when new people is added to your collection and/or when you have matched a lot of faces and people, specially if you have fixed many mismatched faces.This is working fine for me in digikam 6.4 What I don't know is when you need to re-train the database. IMPORTANT: On the settings sugbtab, select the YOLO v3 detection model. I guess this 'trains' the database using the faces already detected and assigned.įinally, when you hace the database trained, you can go to the People tab again, select 'Recognize faces' and let Digikam match detected faces with people. Go to Tools > Maintenance and select the update faces. But first, and this seems to be key, you have to instruct the app the train the faces recognition database. Once you have a minimum set of faces, you can use the recognize feature. Once you have faces detected assign each faces with a person. I would start with a limited set of albums. On the workflow subtab (at the bottom), select 'Detect faces'.

How to detect and assign faces? You can do it manually (editing a picture and adding a face), or you can go to the People tab and use the detect faces feature. If not, you will need to do some more work. So, you need some faces already in place (this means detected and assigned to someone). I'm not totally sure how it works, but AFAK the feature needs some training.

On first start up, application needs to download some external data for the face recognition. First one is to detect faces(detect parts of the picture that are faces), and the second one is to recognize the faces (assign a detected face to someone). Keep in mind that this woprks in two phases. It seems Digikam 7.2 improved this feature.
