[Digikam-users] Digikam face recognition

[Andreas Weigl]

Hi

first of all great job. I love digikam and I am using it for years now.

I am currently on Fedora with digikam 4.2.0. I have to admit I never worked
much with the face detection and recognition and wanted to start now but to
be honest, I have no idea how it is supposed to work. What is the work flow?

I mean it is easy to tell digikam to start and scan, limit the scan to
folders and such, but what then? Whatever digikam find and can not
recognize lands in Unknown.

So here a couple of questions:
1. Is there a way to assign a bunch of pictures at once to one people tag?
I tried marking a bunch of pictures and dragging them onto the tag but it
then assigned unknown.
2. Is there a way to say for a bunch of pictures "these are not faces". The
only way I found is doing it one by one.
3. When I hover over a picture I can start to type the name, below I get a
list with possible options and create new. If I start to type "And" for
"Andreas" and select my name then "And" remains in the search field. To be
honest I think every time I assigned "And" instead of the name.
4. How can I view the images that were recognized but are unconfirmed?
5. How do you deal with unknown persons. Do you leave them in unknown? How
do I then find the pictures that I have not checked yet? I could assign a
people name AAA_unknown or something but would this not mess up the
recognition? If i say "it is not a face" (the white x on the red ball in
the top right corner of the image) does that have any negative consequences
on the detection and recognition?
6. What shortcuts are you guys using

I would be willing to do the documentation but I need to first know how it
is supposed to work.

Thanks in advance
Andy
