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 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.

Turn off Face Detection

Is there any way to turn off face detection? Sometimes we want to do 3-way video conference between large conference rooms. Also is there anyway we can keep the wide screen 1080P image when we are doing 3-way conferencing? Thanks!

Hi,
1. It is by design and I cannot find any methods to disable the function of Face Detection. Video is enhanced with face detection and smart framing, so that a participant’s video moves to help keep them centered
in the frame.
2. High-definition video (up to 1080p resolution) is supported in conferences for Lync 2013. You can refer to the link below of “Lync Client Video Requirements”:

N86 Upgrade Face DEtection Option

Hey I'm n86 user and one of my friend (New Delhi) upgrade his firmware and he he said there is an option add 'Face Detection' in new firmware version 11.43 and when i visited nokia care and upgrade firmware then i aint got any face detection option then we met one day and he showed to me n i was shocked. what to do ? i want face detection option also waiting for your reply Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Now you can update your phone to V20 but it will depend upon your code.
Here's what you'll notice: (Via Allaboutsymbian)
Camera improvements:
Improved still image quality
Improved video quality
Face detection added
Red-eye removal added (Nokia note: "this is image processing which removes the red-eye. You need to be in red-eye reduction flash mode for it to be operational. Other flash modes it is disabled as there is a small shot to shot impact due to the extra image processing.")
New focus point indication - this shows where in the scene the camera is focussing
Improved Close-up focus. (Nokia note: "As a result you will find in most situations you can focus much closer than before. The new focus point indication will also help in confirming which part of your subject is used for critical focus checking")
Face detection is indicated by a yellow square.
Significant bug fixes to:
Web
Music store client
RealPlayer
Ovi Maps (including faster calibration of the digital compass)
Here and Now
N-Gage client
Nokia Messaging
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

I downloaded ios5.1.1 to my phone, but i dont like the new software. The face detection used in the camera jut isnt for me. So, i would like to know if there was a way to undo the update and go back to ios 5.0.1. My iphone is not jailbroken or unlocked.

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

How can I disable the "Events" how can I disable "Faces"

buona sera
how can I disable the "Events"
how can I disable "Faces"
grazie

You can not
Events are one of many views or your photos in your library - as are faces
YOu can simply ignore both but you can disable them

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

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...)

Is any software available for face detection to unlock screen?

No. Third party software annot control the operating system.

Re-run face detection

Hi,
I jumped from 06 to 11 so faces is a new things for me. I tried to search for a way to re-run the face detection after matching 500+ photos. Is there a way to use existing database to work on the rest of the photos?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

It seems like one of the more requested enhancements on the forum
The official Adobe feedback forum already has 35 people requesting it: Lightroom 6/CC - Allow facial recognition feature to re-index a folder/collection. Please add your vote and opinion.

IE, Disable 'Automatically Detect Settings' Via GPO

Hi guys,
We have recently been having a small problem with IE, whereby the 'automatically detect settings' check box will get ticked - resulting in our users not being able to traverse our proxy server.
I use the User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > IE Maintenance > Connection to set up our proxy settings, however I can't see an option to explicitly disable the 'automatically detect settings' check box.
Is this located somewhere else in an admin template, or am I simply missing an option that is right in front of me?
Thanks.
Glen

here is a script that does the trick: source

Face detect behavior on previously tagged images

Hi,
I transfered all my previously tagged images (before face detect feature was available) to the newly created "people" tags. For example, PSE8 face detect created a tag for Claudia (my wife), I then transfered all the photos with my wife on them that I had manually tagged before PSE8. I did that for all my "favorite" faces. Of course, all the photos added to the organizer AFTER installing PSE8 have been added using this feature
PSE8 keeps asking me "Who is this?" for older photos (added before PSE8) even when these photos are already tagged with the proper face tags.
How should I proceed?
How should I handle photos that were added before PSE8?
Should I keep "teaching" PSE8 so it recognized the faces for all my pre-PSE8 images?
I have around 3,000 images in the organizer pre-PSE8
Any comments will be greatly appreciated

Thanks John.
In a related question. PSE8 face detect algorithms do not seem to remember one of my favorite faces (wife wife's!!)... In every rectangle of her face, it will never suggest her name from the usual three options... it will autocomplete her name, though. Even after several sessions, it will never suggest her name.
Is this common? This behavior seems only specific to her face.
Should I delete her face tag and start all over?
What do you reccommend?
Thanks

Problem in implements ADF Faces: Detecting and handling user session expiry

Hello everybody
I´m trying to implement a method to handle user session expiry as explained by frank nimphius in his blog.
http://thepeninsulasedge.com/frank_nimphius/2007/08/22/adf-faces-detecting-and-handling-user-session-expiry/
I have implemented the class bellow and add the filters in web.xml. However when I add the JavaServer Faces Servlet to sign the filter, my hole application get nuts. I try to publish the applicatoin in the OAS and it seems that it already starts expired.
Someone konw what I´m doing wrong?
I use the filter
<filter>
<filter-name>ApplicationSessionExpiryFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>adf.sample.ApplicationSessionExpiryFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>SessionTimeoutRedirect</param-name>
<param-value>SessionExpired.jspx</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
then I add
XML:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ApplicationSessionExpiryFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
package adf.sample;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
this is the class
public class ApplicationSessionExpiryFilter implements Filter {
private FilterConfig _filterConfig = null;
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
_filterConfig = filterConfig;
public void destroy() {
_filterConfig = null;
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
String requestedSession = ((HttpServletRequest)request).getRequestedSessionId();
String currentWebSession = ((HttpServletRequest)request).getSession().getId();
boolean sessionOk = currentWebSession.equalsIgnoreCase(requestedSession);
// if the requested session is null then this is the first application
// request and "false" is acceptable
if (!sessionOk && requestedSession != null){
// the session has expired or renewed. Redirect request
((HttpServletResponse) response).sendRedirect(_filterConfig.getInitParameter("SessionTimeoutRedirect"));
else{
chain.doFilter(request, response);
I'm really having trouble controlling user sessions. if someone know where I can get materials to learn how to implements session in Jdev ADF + BC, I´m very grateful.
Thank you Marnie

The class works fine.. the issue is when I add the this code into web.xml
<filter-mapping>

By the way, how can I post code on the forum properly?

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.
