Disable face detection for projects

Is there a way to have Aperture, not to use certain Projects for Face Detection?

Bummer. That means Aperture is working on literally thousand of useless faces.
And I have to go through the effort of rejecting potentially hundreds or thousands of false hits for no reason whatsoever.
My short-term answer:
1) Recognize Faces only on a per-project basis with the contextual menu.
2) Turn off Faces in Prefs unless I'm using them in a session.
3) Cancel Face Recognition in the Activities Window if it starts up otherwise.
Apple needs to fix this. Aperture is not iPhoto.

Forcing Face Detection for All Pictures in an Event

Aperture 3.0 fails to detect all faces in all photos in an Event. Is there a way to force face detection for all photos in an Event? As it stands now, one cannot tag photos for faces if Aperture decides (erroneously) that photos don't contain a face.
Spent ninety minutes with Apple Aperture Support, who confirmed this.

I don't know how to answer your first question (force it for all photos), but I thought you could add faces / names to a photo using the Name button left hand side of the toolbar. I've used it today to add a "Face" to a photo containing two hands because I wanted to tag each hand with a Name. So I clicked Name, and drew a box on each hand and added a Name to it. So it works for a single photo but that might be a pain to do for a lot

Why No Face Detection for Mobileme Gallery?

I know to perform face detection, i goto Events, select a photo, then click the "Name" icon on the bottom toolbar, type in the name, and iPhoto will take care of the rest.
But when i open the Mobileme galleries in iPhoto and select photos, there is no "Name" icon on the bottom toolbar. How could i perform the face detection for mobileme photos then?
Help very much appreciated

You can't. You'll need to do your naming with the versions in your Library.

T430, disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS, no graphic card can be found in Windows

I try to use my T430 minidisplayport to connect with external display. But it is so unstable that the connection between laptop and display can lost anytime. That is so annoying. I use Nvidia control panel in Windows to force use NVS5400M instead of HD4000, but it seems doesn't change anything.
I heard if I select the discrete graphic card in BIOS, then it may fix the display connection lost problem. Then I go to the BIOS and set the "discrete", and disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS Config Display (This is necessary otherwise the laptop will change it back to Optimus automatically.). But after I log into Windows, then no graphic card can be found, Why? How should I fix this problem?
The external display issue in T430 is so annoying. The VGA suffers very serious noise while the minidisplay is so unstable. Even worse, there is no any lenovo staff stand out to help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone has experience, please share that.
Thank so much.

Hello Mark, thanks for help. Please see my answers below:
1. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
2. Yes, I did. The BIOS is latest (2.65). The NVS5400M driver is 333.02.
3. My display is Asus MX239, which only has HDMI. I use an adapter cable: miniDP->HDMI and then an HDMI-HDMI cable I try to connect to a Samsung TV, but similar. I don't have a miniDP to HDMI cable. I just order one but has not get it.
Sorry that I post in multiple threads. As I mentioned in that thread, let me conclude all these here.
After I disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS, then I istalled the NVS5400M 333.11 driver. Then the NVS5400 can be found in Windows. But the displayport problem still exist. It is still very very difficult to detect external monitor (this means in most cases I can't switch to external display), and even sometimes it works, the connection can lost anytime.
Even worse, I found a new problem, that if I disconnect my T430 with power supply, then I can see the "pink bar" appear and disappear in the laptop screen (not external monitor) repetitively, quickly. I have never seen this problem before, only after I install NVS 333.11. Then I reinstall the 333.02 driver. Then I enabled the "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS again. The "pink bar" issue gone. It looks like the issue is caused by 333.11 driver. But this driver comes from Nvidia offical driver download website.
So now the most important thing I need help is, I need to have a stable solution to connect external display. In T430, there are only two ports for external display:
1. VGA
2. MiniDisplayPort
Please help me following questions:
1. When I try to use VGA, I can see very very bad noise in external display. This issue also be posted in previous thread in forum. This should be a hardware design failure. Is there any solution to fix this that I can use VGA without noise in external display?
2. My T430 has both HD4000 and NVS5400M, if I need to use miniDP (which is I prefer, I have digital port why I use VGA.) for display. Does miniDP only work when the NVS5400 is used (it looks like that)?
3. If miniDP only works NVS5400, so how should I configure to ensure the T430 use NVS5400 all the time? Do I have to disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS or I can switch using Nvidia Control panel in windows ?
4. Would you please provide me a configuration for T430 (include BIOS, and setting in Nvidia Control panel) that can support stable external display thru miniDP? Include driver versions and BIOS version.
5. What are potential reasons that the external display can't be detected and can lost connection anytime with T430? To be noted, I already set to use NVS5400 in Nvidia Control panel. The case is also same I disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS. I think cable may be a issue.
Thanks again.

Disable face detection

Face detection when you don't want it is a major obstacle in using iPhoto. How do I turn it off?

You can't. After the initial pass when creating a new library the faces scan seems to be less invasive. So we just have to ignore it AND send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
Or you might consider the solution posted in this topic: Iphoto 11 -How to turn off faces?: Apple Support Communities

Disable/Override Auto-detect for displays

i have a mini serving as the head for my media center. if i plug it into the HDTV via a DVI->HDMI cable it works just fine. detects the HDTV display options perfectly.
but what i would like to do is plug it into my receiver, where all the rest of my audio and video can go as well. that way i just have one video out to the tv for all my sources.
the problem is that when i plug it into the receiver i get generic display options on the mac (none of the HDTV resolutions) and the receiver doesn't know what to do with them. nothing is passed back out to the TV.
various cables, resolutions, and third-party software for playing with video output options have been tried. i'm hoping that, if there is a way to disable auto-detect for displays, i can output 720P/1080i as such and the receiver will recognize it and send it out to the TV.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your issue in the forum.
Regarding the current issue, I suggest we could refer to the following similar threads to disable Automatically detect settings via Group Policy. They may be useful to us.

Face detection on ios 5.1

I saw that iOS 5.1 will have face detection for iPad 2 and the rest but why is it not detecting faces?

According to the user guide, Face detection is a feature that is only available on the iPad 3rd generation. It does not work on the iPad 2.

Project Oxford. Can I use the Face API for law enforcement app

Hello,
I am a .Net developer and have recently learned of Microsoft's Project Oxford.
I am very much interested in developing an app using the Face API but, had a question regarding the code of conduct.
Specifically it states:
People who use your app must have the consent of the people whose images are being processed by your app. We ask that you include a prominent notice in your app UI so your end users know that consent
is required.
The application I am attempting to develop is for law enforcement to detect wanted persons while out on patrol.
My questions are:
1. Is there an exception to the rule above for law enforcement?
2. Can I use the Face api for my application knowing that
in most cases law enforcement will not specifically ask for consent while scanning people?
As always thank you for your assistance.

Try a different camera app. Camera Plus is a good one and there are many others.

Tips For Improving Face Detection Accuracy

These are some rules I have slowly discovered that have helped improve the accuracy of iPhotos' face detection.
a. Don't force iPhoto to recognize *+every single+* instance of an individuals face. (If you need to create a location containing every instance of an individual, then you need to setup a Smart Folder using the persons' name as a Description or Keyword. "Faces" is not the section to do this. See a suggestion below for using "Faces" to do this.)
b. Avoid confirming really poor quality examples of a persons face (low light, pixelated, off in the distance, etc)
c. Avoid confirming only partially visible faces (hair covering half the face, head turned away to a profile, extreme angles too high or too low, etc)
d. Avoid too many instances in which the person's eyes are closed. (Obviously, sunglasses are a real problem here as well)
e. Avoid instances where the persons head is tilted 45 degrees or more, unless the software recognizes the face on it's own.
f. Avoid instances where the face has areas of heavy shadow, and the light source is at right angles to the face. (Outdoors with Sun directly overhead or near horizon.) If face is in an "even" shadow that seems to be OK.
g. Clearly, the more full frontal, clearly lit views of an individuals' face you can include, the better the face detection will be.
h. If you do use the "Add Missing Face" button, then restrict the selection box to just around the eyebrows, nose and mouth. Avoid selecting the whole head since the face detection software concentrates on the features in the center of the face. No need to include the hair as it does not appear to be a factor.
*Gathering Every Instance of a Persons' Face*
Here is how you could use "Faces" to gather every photo of an individual, yet maintain its' face detection accuracy. Mind you, this may only be practical with relatively small libraries, not libraries with 10's of thousands of photos.
1. First, go ahead and name *+every instance+* of an individuals' face (Even poor quality examples).
2. Then, within the "Faces" corkboard section, open that persons' album and "Select All" of their photos (Do this before the Faces scan is complete or you will also select all of the suggested faces under "So-and_So may also be in the photos below")
3. Next, create "New Album from selection..." and give it the name of the person. (Alternatively, you could "Batch Change..." all the selected photos with a "Description" using the persons' name and then use a "Smart Album" to gather all of the persons' photos. This could be handy for adding future photos of the person automatically to the Smart Album.)
4. Once that is complete, now "Reject" all poor quality, or partially visible examples of the persons' face within Faces. This will improve the software's future accuracy at detecting the persons' face in new photos added to the library.
If, at a future date, you add another large group of photos containing that persons' face, you can repeat steps 1 & 2 and simply drag all the photos to the persons' Album. Or "Batch Change..." the Description again to automatically include the newly added photos to the Smart Album you created earlier.
In the end I have discovered that the Faces section of iPhoto is really more a "tool" for creating Albums, rather than a destination for viewing photos.
Hope this helps. Feel free to add any suggestions you have discovered for improving the face detection accuracy.
Cheers

Apparently you shouldn't worry too much about what you select for the face area when using "Add Missing Face"... From Apple's knowledgebase at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3427:
Note: Only faces that have been automatically detected in your photo library will help iPhoto match faces. Manually identified faces will not aid iPhoto's face-matching ability.
So, unless they later come out with an update that actually uses that data, any effort you make in selecting especially accurate face regions is going to waste. (Though I'll admit I'm still putting in the effort in the hope that the data will someday be used for something in a future version of iPhoto...)

No. Third party software annot control the operating system.

Disabling face-face culling for Collada embedding?

Having done my research prior to posting this question, and finding nothing, how may one go about disabling back-face culling for embedded 3D objects imported from Collada files? The default profile in Collada does not provide for a specific culling override flag nor is there any override UI control that I can see in iBooks to control the culling. This is similar behaviour as well in the Preview app.
Also, as a general question to Apple, is the Collada support in iBooks the same basic functionality built into the OS, as used by "Preview", and which was supposed to have been developed by Feeling Software back in 2007, funded by Google?

As one of the main data translations providers, Collada basically stalled at v1.4.1 for its world-wide acceptance in 3D apps, so that's basically what all 3D apps will be supporting for a decades to come. This is the version which is being tested.

Can you turn Faces off for specific Projects?

I do photography just for myself normally, and for my pictures I like to use Faces. However, I've also done some photography for groups. I don't want Faces to try and tag these people, because I don't even know them! Is there a way to turn Faces off for certain projects, but not turn it off totally?

I have a similer thing since I use aperture for my work and for personal things. I use seperate libraries. Create a seperate library from the file menue. (File->switch library->other/new) make one for work (no faces) and one for personal (faces enabled) It's not as simple as setting it on or off for each project but it does work for me.
