Interesting Observation - Facial Recognition

[Paul Moles]

Having previously used Picasa for my photo storage I am migrating to 
digiKam. Using Windows 11 digikam 8.6.0

Whilst Picasa identified faces, many of my "faces" are manually 
annotated with the selection boxes often larger than the immediate 
facial area, the data being stored in the metadata.

digiKam seemed to import this information fairly successfully but 
nonetheless I set it to Tools->Maintenance->Detect and Recognize Faces.

It took most of the day (c. 69k items) but at the end an interesting 
observation was that in perhaps a couple of dozen instances an area 
within the originally manually applied selection was incorrectly 
identified. The interesting thing being this incorrect identification 
was usually either a sibling or child of previously identified person. 
Genetic similarity confirmed perhaps?

My only difficulty was trying to delete this inner area, as soon as I 
moved mouse towards the "Confirm/Remove/Ignore" box the outer area was 
selected. In the end I resorted to typing "Ignored" without moving the 
mouse.

Have I perhaps missed the keyboard shortcut for this process.

Cheers

Paul
