<div dir="auto">Hi Steve,</div>
<div dir="auto">Your suspicions are correct. Ignoring a face does nothing to face training. We don't save the ignored face data for any type of matching or training.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">We thought of, and I experimented with matching ignored faces to make it easier to ignore similar faces. Ultimately, we rejected it because a false positive match to an ignored face could cause you to miss an otherwise important match to a real
person.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Cheers,</div>

<div>Subject: Face Recognition in DK 8.5 - are ignored faces learned? </div>

<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm using the new default recognition settings: Accuracy = 7, Model = SFace. <br>
And I'm very pleased with the results.<br>
<br>
I have a question about the "Ignored" tag. I've chosen to tag only family and <br>
close friends. So when there is a gathering of another kind, I may find 10 <br>
other people in the background of 20+ images.<br>
<br>
My question is: if I tag one image to ignore all those people, will a <br>
subsequent run of face recognition find a match, and see that it is ignored, <br>
and then go ahead and mark that face as ignored?<br>
<br>
My experience is that the answer is "no, that's not how it works". I <br>
generally have to ignore all those background people in all the individual <br>
images. If that's accurate, then: is the described alternate behaviour <br>
feasible and useful?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
-Steve<br>
