Face detection like picasa or better please...

this could be a really time saver feature!
request: please use better face detection algoritm than picasa... picasa miss a lot of faces and ask a lot of time if person is correct or wrong!

Yes, a face detection algorithm would make sense in a organizer like Bridge.
Or in general the ability to search pictures for a specific content, color etc.
For example, you open one picture as "source" for the search and mark the areas you wish to search for. For person/face detection search it could also be useful to define several pictures from different perspectives as source. And of course you should be able to save specific search criteria. So everytime you upload new fotos from your camera, they should automatically (or by a simple "one-click-button") be searched for "known" faces and tagged.
Is there something like that in development by Adobe?

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.

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

IOS photo app vs iPhoto, keywords, smart albums, face detection?

greetings,
i have some questions about iOS photos app in comparison to iPhoto (in 10.8). i've done a little searching on the web and in the forum, but didn't see this covered...
i always sync my iPhone to my mac, copy/import my photos to iPhoto, and use iPhoto to organize my photos. in iPhoto, i tag photos (keywords) and use "smart albums" to access all my photos based upon the keyword tags. face detection in iPhoto is GREAT!.   i have all my friends faces named and finding them by "people" grouping is fantastic. the down side to all of this is that i have everything working great on my mac, but usually i'm using the photos app in the iPhone to show pics to my friends since that is what i have with me. i'm not sure if this information in iPhoto ever gets synced back to my iPhone.
1- does the iOS photos app have any of these features from iPhoto?
     in other words, can i tag photos, lable the faces of friends, set up smart albums in iOS photos? if so, please point me to some info. i haven't seen an obvious way to do any of this.
2- can i sync what i do in iPhoto back to my iPhone?
     in other words, can i get the tags, peoples' names on their faces, and smart albums copied from iPhotos back to my iPhone? is there some setting or command in iPhoto, or somewhere else?
3- i just turned on photostream. can/does this iPhoto data transfer via photostream to the iPhone?
i have an iPhone 4.
i am just about ready to upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6. so if any of these features are specific to iOS 6, please let me know.
i'd appreciate it if you could mention if there is anything special about iOS in the iPad, because a friend has asked me how she can do in her iPad (iOS 6), what i do with iPhoto in my mac.
thank you for any suggestions or advice.

You're best bet would be to do your own comparison: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id497786065?mt=8

How to re-run face detection?

Dear community,
I have accidentally deleted all detected faces in Lightroom CC today. How can I re-run face detection for my catalogue?
Thanks for your support!

Face Detection on iPhone4s freezes on faces & won't work! Help!

Hi all. I've been searching all across the Internet in hopes that others are having the same issue as me. I'm hoping that anyone can shed some light on why this keeps happening to me.
I purchased a brand new iPhone4s in December of 2011. My phone was working great till around April 2012, I began having the issue that if I take a picture of people with the apple camera app (both front & back camera), face detection locates the faces but then freezes on me. Many times the camera won't take the picture and then shuts down and restarts itself. Other times, it will take the picture but only after several minutes. The camera app works great on landscape, but not faces. It doesn't matter if I'm opening the camera from the lock screen or in my unlocked phone.
I took my iphone into the apple store numerous times and it was eventually replaced. I started with a clean phone and just in case, I uploaded my apps back on my new iphone from itunes, not icloud. I did this to avoid installing the problem back on my iphone. Sadly, the problem is now arising again on a replaced iphone.
In addition, on my orginal iphone (before replacement) sometimes, if I would want to edit a picture in the camera roll, the picture would freeze and cause my phone to shut down and restart. I haven't encountered this problem yet on the replaced iphone.
Is this problem happening to anyone else? Please help. Thank you!

Hello, I would like to add that I recently experienced this problem with iPhone 4S. Multiple face detection defeinitely causes the camera app to lock up, whereas scenery pictures do not. It just happens to be rare for me to take pics with many people in them on my iPhone, so I was suprised to find this happening.
The only advice I could find was a forum post, which suggests the key is to always "unlock" before entering the camera app. Meaning, the quick-slide access to camera from the lock screen may be at the root of the problem.

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?

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...)

Face detection hit and miss

I am finding this feature to be very hit and miss. I have a lot of folders with full-on, well-exposed face shots that LR is not picking up faces in, and other folders with partial faces that are obscured, dark, or over blown that it is picking out faces in. Then there were the random squiggles of grass that LR thought was my very bald brother...
There doesn't seem to be a way to get it to re-check folders, and "find similar faces" doesn't seem to do anything but look for faces I've already confirmed - the naming makes it seem like if you say, "Hey, here's a face to look for," it would go back through the folder/catalog and look for similar faces that weren't already picked out.
It's got potential, but in its current state, I'm going to have to go through and manually choose faces in thousands of photos that LR theoretically should be picking out. Bummer.
Keep working on it, Adobe.

My experience so far with LRs face detection is a little disappointing as well.
I understand that machine face recognition has severe limits. Persons age, change in expression, glasses, hats... not to speak of angle of shooting, light conditions etc etc. Plus it needs to be computationally feasible.
And yet when I started to name a person, particularly after having tagged some childhood pictures, the suggestions started to get very very odd, including faces from the opposite sex, some graphic ornaments on a wall, and ancient Greek statues.
And then going through a large collection (again!), with thousands of clicks...
Adding to the disappointment: Although LR CC writes face data to XMP-mwg-rs tags (jay!), it does NOT read and process existing XMP-mwg-rs written by other software (Nooooooo!).
Thousands and thousands clicks to go, again...

Face detection hangs

When converting my library from Aperture 2 I have Faces Detection switched off. Now I decided to re-enable it. It have detected some faces but now every time I start Aperture it shows Face detection task which always stop at certain number:
Detecting faces in library: 1,077 of 8,808
If there is any workaround for this? It seems like it stuck on certain image and could not go any further.
Thanks!

Thanks Jim for the answer.
I can keep it running but then the next morning I still have the beachball.............:-(
After rebuilding the library all goes well and there seem to be no problems. Problems start after closing down in a normal way and starting up the next time......
And it has been running for a long time without problems. Didn't touch any settings/preferences.
Maybe the OS update??

Face detection freezes my system

Has any of you experienced hanging/freezing problems while face detection is running? I tagged a couple of faces from my pictures (my library size is about 70gb) and shortly after this my whole system hangs. Mouse still moves, but I cannot click anything and I can't even bring up force quit even using keyboard shortcut!

Yes. Although it doesn't crash iPhoto for me, it brings my system to a crawl while it looks for faces in photographs of trees, buildings, clouds etc. I don't take many pictures of people, and I just don't want it to try to identify anyone. I haven't defined any faces, so why is it looking? So it can identify that complete stranger that accidently walked into my photo of Angkor Wat?
I really really want a way just to switch this off. Please. Howsabout if you haven't defined any faces it doesn't look for any? I mean, if you haven't already defined a face, why is it looking at all?!
Please make it stop.

Face detection not working on iphone 4

since the ios 5.1 update, I dont see the multi face detection working on my iPhone 4. My wife has the iphone 4s and it works for her. so did the update for this feature only work on iphone 4s?

Doesn't for me either. There's no meaning at all. It looks like another subtle downgrade from Apple to frustrate you for not having the latest iPhone.

Neural Nets + Face detection/recognition

Does anyone have any experience with this, I've been struggling to find decent resources on whether or not building an ANN in Java for this purpose is a reasonable idea or not, even to produce something that wouldn't necessarily, or likely, be massively successful.
In fact, I've come across very little actual code for this in any programming language so whilst preferring Java, to see any implementation would be interesting for me. I'm aware of JOONE(?) but I suspect that's a relatively mature project and I'd like to see smaller examples of ANNs so I can get some of the concepts first.
Is it feasible? Are there any online documented instances of people doing this where their code is available? It needs to be *nix too, I did find a link to a VB program but that's not much good as I don't have a Windows box.
Thanks

For face detection/recognition, a BAM (Biderectional Associative Memory) neural net would do fine.
Google for 'Kosko' or ''Bidirectional Associative Memory'. It's quite easy to implement, just a bit
of matrix multiplications ...
kind regards,
Jos

[WPSL] Build Face Detection WP app in to my app?

Hi awesome people:-) I'm developing a Silverlight app and I want to use the Face Detection app just like it is and build it in to my app. I'm not sure which file to copy and which I can omit to copy. How do I copy the Face Detection app in to my app? I
will have a menu item there to go to the Face Detection app. I mean when the user clicks a menu item the FD should launch. Thank you in advance.

You cannot include other apps in your app. You can launch a protocol into its default handler if the app you want to launch supports that.
There is no in-box face detection API. You can connect to external services such as

IPhone 6 - Camera - Improved face detection

On the Apple Web Site, under iPhone 6 Features, I was reading and I quite do not understand the following technology:
Improved face detection
The FaceTime camera has improved face detection to recognize faces faster and more accurately. It also improves blink detection and smile detection to give you better quality selfies and group shots.
What does it mean Blink Detection and Smile Detection? What are the benefits?
http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/cameras/
Thank you so much and have a nice week end

Hi. I'm a journalist investigating this issue, and others with the camera.
