<br>
I decreased the slider to 5 and ran the scanner. It found half a
dozen more dogs, no cats, and a few birds. And quite a number of
completely irrelevant areas, just as you predicted. All in all, I
consider that it is still worth it because it also recovered (and
sometimes identified) hundreds of faces, so I'll leave this
setting at this level. <br>
<br>
BTW, I am amazed by how it manages to find faces in areas where
only an ear or an eye are visible. This makes me think that it
identifies animals not because they look like humans (the dogs
which were identified did not look like humans, and of course
neither did the birds) but that a few animal samples were incuded
in the training. I guess no cats were included, which would
explain why it did not find any, although cat faces are closer to
human faces than dogs or birds.<br>
<br>
Afterword: I tried to check on a subset of my pictures if
decreasing detection accuracy would find cats. In the "Search in"
tab, I checked some of the cat tags, set the accuracy to 4 and hit
"Scan collection for faces". dK answered "Items scanned for faces:
0" and "Face found: 0". I don't understand "Items scanned for
faces: 0" as the 5 tags I selected amount to more than 100 photos.<br>

<div dir="auto">Face detection is optimized for human faces. It
will occasionally detect animal faces. You can try setting the
detection accuracy slider to 4 or 5 to see if it will detect
more animal faces, but this will also increase the number of
false positives.</div>

I just checked, it detected only 2 dog faces, and it missed
hundreds of others, including more than 300 pictures of the 2
dogs it just detected. So maybe face recognition works, but
face detection isn't very efficient? Anyhow, I'm going to tell
him those dog's names and hope it will find other occurrences.<br>

<div>Here my dog's face is also detected and recognized if
tagged previously. So, I think the model has been taught
with domestic animals, at least. I don't test with cats
anyways (no cat at home (:-)))...</div>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I updated to 8.6.0. In the unknown faces folder, I found 2
dogs. Should <br>
I tell dK to ignore them or is there any chance the new
face recognition <br>
engine will recognise those dogs in the future?<br>
