<div dir="ltr">There are ways to programmatically detect blurry images also. Maybe there could be some programmatic way to have blurry images affect the model less (or not at all). Other apps don't seem to be affected in this way. Mylio for instance doesn't degrade when tagging blurry images.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 20, 2024 at 9:17 AM Nic Garton <<a href="mailto:ngarton@hotmail.com">ngarton@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg1166542582954376379">

<div><span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">So, my suggestion to make this work good, and it is SO CLOSE to working good, is to have a gui interface to be able to select which faces are used for each
identity.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Then if you "accidentally" add a blurry one, it can just be removed through the gui. So each identify would keep a set of say, 5, really
good faces images.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Then recognizing a face to this identity would NOT automatically add it to the trainings for that face ("FaceMatrices" table). </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">In short, much more user control over which faces make the training set, and which don't.</span></div>

</span></div>

make this an even more fantastic product!</span></div>
