Size in pixels to recognize a face

Fran2

Hi, I’m new to this forum, but seeing how lively it is, I’ve decided to make a suggestion myself.

In the locations section when selecting a location, or perhaps in the general options, it would be nice to be able to specify the minimum size of a face; finding faces that are 50×50 pixels isn’t helpful.

That’s why I thought it would be a good idea for everyone to choose the size they need, keeping in mind that a change in that value may require a new scan.

Fran2 The problem is, that there are actually cases when you might want to mark up even small faces. Such as group photos for example. I peronally have doubts this would be useful option.

I agree with you. I photograph events with a lot of people and have a ton of photos, just as you mentioned. That’s why I’m proposing this improvement. It allows you to configure the size of the face suggestions you want the program to offer. And my suggestion is that the user chooses.

I’ve attached an image as an example, and it’s not the most extreme; I’ve seen smaller face suggestions. But in this example, of the five people in the background, it only recognized one face. But, in my opinion, that face isn’t useful. It probably helps to know that person was there.

I’m sure if that person asks me for photos of themselves, they won’t want that one.

It may be a problem few people have, but I have thousands and thousands of photos of large groups of people, and the face suggestions become endless.

The program is very good, but with such small face sizes, the program confuses the faces a lot.

I appreciate your comments, but I understand that it’s your program and you’re the one who decides. Regards.

Fran2 I see where you are coming from. However, setting face size in pixel is probably most misleading way to control the funciton. How would regular user determine what size should be put there? What is enough and what is too much?

If there would be setting like that, I think it has to be much smarter and should not require user to set pixed size. Something like “ignore background faces” or something of that nature. And the program should be responsible for management of specific thresholds.

Andrey I also understand what you’re saying, and the maxim of keeping the program easy to use. Well, I’ll leave the proposal up in the air in case it’s easy to include in the future, with AI, for example. Regards
