<p>Hi Charlie, et. al</p>
<p>I have an Unconfirmed tag, but it has zero images in it, even
after multiple "recognize faces" runs. </p>
<p>Once I did the initial scan all images, the Unknown tag had ~6000
images in it. I classified probably ~800 of those naming
individuals correctly. I then re-ran the process as you indicated
using "Recognize faces only" on all of my albums. I watched it as
it zoomed thru images, showing faces in the process of those in
the image that it'd previously detected. At the conclusion of the
face detection, which took several minutes, it came back stating
it scanned over 5,533 images and found ZERO faces. Nothing moved
from Unknown to Unconfirmed. This is the same outcome every
single time I've tried this.<br>
</p>
<p>So, what now? I've been tempted to try to re-create the training
data, but haven't done so yet. <br>

<div>Do you have a tag called "Unconfirmed" alongside your
"Unknown" tag? I believe that's where the
detected-and-potentially-matched faces should end up, waiting
for you to confirm or reject them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The doc describes this under the Face recognition section,
"To start this process, go to the workflow tab, select <strong>Recognize
faces only</strong>, and then click <strong>Scan Collection
For Faces</strong>. The process will tag similar <strong>detected</strong>
faces with the appropriate People tag from your tag tree, and
the corresponding thumbnail will disappear from the <strong>Unknown</strong>
tag selection. The thumbnail will appear in the <strong>Unconfirmed</strong>
tag section and will be added to the suggested face tag
section."</div>

been baffled by this as well. I'm running on Windows 11,
DigiKam <br>
8.7, and downloaded all the modules. I let it grind thru a
bunch of my <br>
libraries overnight. It resulted in about 6000 images in the
Unknown <br>
category. I spent a a couple hours assigning names to people
in that <br>
list (sometimes up to 200-300 images). I still have 5500 in
the Unknown <br>
bucket after classifying several hundred.<br>
<br>
After doing that, I went to run the "Recognize faces only"
with <br>
Accuracy=7, Search in set to "All Albums" and Tags unchecked.
Then when <br>
I do the "Scan collection for faces" nothing changes, and all
the same <br>
Unknown images stay in the same Unknown bucket.<br>
<br>
What am I doing wrong? I had hoped that tagging a good number
of faces <br>
before doing the recognition would improve its accuracy, but
it seems to <br>
just want me to do all the assignment work, which I kinda
don't want to do.<br>
<br>
I'm using an external SQL database, with the database running
on Linux, <br>
because I do use the same image libraries across Windows
clients.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help/suggestions!<br>
