<p>Hi Michael and Gilles,</p>
<p>I've just updated Digikam with the latest Appimage and done some tests : face recognition is very fast and accurate. Good work !</p>
<p>libOpenCV version is 4.11.0</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Pierre</p>

<div>Well it's simple: Pierre needs to run the 8.6.0 Linux AppImage bundle or the Windows installer 8.6.0 that we provide...</div>

<div>Hi Pierre,
<div>This is what I suspected. digiKam needs OpenCV version 4.10.0 or later for face recognition to work properly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please let us know if you need help upgrading to OpenCV 4.10.0. I think Gilles or Maik can help.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Mike</div>

<p>Hi Michael,</p>
<p>I saw yesterday that the 8.6.0 was just released. I have to update it.</p>
<p>I'm using KDE Neon with KDE 6.3.</p>
<p>"What version of OpenCV is installed?"</p>
<p>I don't know. I have to check it later (I'm not in front of this computer by now).</p>
<p>How do I check which version of OpenCV is used (if it is correctly installed) ?</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Pierre</p>

<div>Please try using version 8.6.0. It was released on 16 March. In version 8.6.0 we removed SSD, YOLO, and OpenFace from face detection. YuNet and SFace are much more reliable.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>YuNet not detecting faces is usually because of an older version of OpenCV installed on your computer. What operating system are you using? What version of OpenCV is installed?</div>

<p>Hi everybody !</p>
<p>Due to the fact that Digikam Documentation is not quite up-to-date, I'm doing some tests using face detection, tagging and recognition in Digikam.</p>
<p>I have some questions about this function :</p>
<p>- about face detection algorithms, I've tested the three options (YuNet, YOLOv3 and the third one I don't remember about). Yunet does not detect any face although I ran it on a photo album full of faces (family photos). The different options (very small, small, medium sized, and so on) do not change the result. This algorithm is pretty useless in my opinion OR I missed something.</p>
<p>YOLOv3 is very efficient and detect nearly every face in the photos.</p>
<p>The third option provide the same results as YOLOv3.</p>
<p>Question : is there an option to prefer between these two algorithms ?</p>
<p>- about face recognition (after face tagging) and confirmation of a number of faces, there are two options in the settings : Sface and Openface.</p>
<p>What are the difference between these options ?</p>
<p>Is it possible to shift from one algorithm to another ?</p>
<p>What are the consequences then ?</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>It is said in the documentation that face recognition algorithms begin to recognise faces with a few tagged faces confirmed.</p>
<p>I found that one needs to confirm much more than 10-20 tagged faces to have some reliable results in the people view.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Thanks in advance for answering and helping.</p>
<p>Pierre</p>
