Face recognition AI / DL and adding features

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

The non face detection / recognition is a topic already discussed in
this room and with the developers in the past.

Typically, before to work of monuments, plants, animals, forms, etc,
we need to finalize the face management. It's under progress while
this summer as we have 2 students working on this topic.

I resumed the direction to plan for future development in this bugzilla entry :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416988

Porting Photils to digiKam plugin interface as a new generic plugin is
the first step. This will permit the evaluation of the performance of
the algorithm.

Best
