Face recognition login mac?

Is there any chance that Apple will be releasing a face recognition login?
Or are there any programs that would do the same?

  • Code for face recognition on mac osx using OpenCV

    Hi,
    I am writing a program for face detection on mac osx and I am using OpenCV. I am following the steps given on this link:
    http://iphone-cocoa-objectivec.blogspot.com/2009/01/using-opencv-for-mac-os-in-xcode.html
    There are three codes given for this program. The first code runs smoothly. In the second code there is no error in the compilation, it is successful. But it is not showing any output. As per the program it should open a new window. That window would store the picture taken from the camera.
    In the debugger console window the following error appears.
    OpenCV ERROR: Internal error (couldnt create new video channel)
    in function icvOpenCamera_QT, /Users/david/Work/Development/Net/opencv/xcode/../otherlibs/highgui/cvcap_qt.cpp(954)

    I don't see what this has to do with Alchemy, or any Adobe product at all even!

  • Face Recognition problem...

    I always get a failed logon when using the face recognition for my u405d-s2902 i set the security low already but still get failed.. can you give me some tips how this face recognition works? pls help thanks...

    You will need webcam on computer and a software pkg: Not too secure, all I have read so far, can be fooled.
    Extracted data: Freeware application BananaScreen adds face recognition login to your webcam-enabled Windows computer. To use, just install BananaScreen and create a face model. Then set up BananaScreen to lock after a predefined amount of inactivity (or hit Alt-L to lock at any time). Once locked, BananaScreen will keep an eye on faces coming and going in front of the camera. When it matches yours, it immediately unlocks your computer. NOT SECURE!

  • No face recognition in iPhoto on my iPad 2

    Hello, thank you for opening this thread.
    Today I uploaded the photo for the first time on to my iPad 2. When I open the photos, there are Photos, Albums, Events, Places, but there is no "Faces."
    I searched the discussion board but I could not find an answer how to let iPhoto do the face recognition.
    Could someone please help me?
    Thank you!!

    Faces will only show as an option in the Photos app on the iPad if you've synced photos from your Mac which have 'faces' associated with them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 : 'iPhoto ’09, you can also add your Faces, Places, and Events to your device.', and the manual 'Events and Faces must first be configured in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, then synced to iPad') - i.e. it must be associated with photos prior to syncing them to the iPad.
    If you've synced photos with Faces to the iPad and they aren't showing, then try closing the Photos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPhoto 09 face recognition

    I would like to know if the iPhoto 09 face recognition feature is ON by default and can't be switched off even if we feel we don't need it.
    The reason I ask is that, after a year of Leopard, I am really exasperated at this Spotlight regularly monopolizing 95% of processor time, uncontrollably trying to index the whole Universe, just in case I might want to search the contents of files, a feature that is ON by default and can't be switched off even if we feel we don't need such an overkill process.
    Same with Time Machine, that starts archiving everytime an external drive is plugged in, unless we rush to the Time Machine System Preferences and navigate to the Confidential tab to kill the already running indiscretion.
    I just hope that iPhoto 09 didn't join this recent un-Apple philosophy that uncontrollably overworks processors and noisy fans, temporarily slowing the fastest computer in the World to the speed of my first Mac SE, just because it decides you're an idiot that might not know its own needs.
    Sorry about that !
    I just had to let it out ...
    PP

    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    If you find that Spotlight is “regularly monopolizing 95% of processor time“ then you have a problem with Spotlight. This is not how i works on nay of my machines. Perhaps you need to troubleshoot that.
    I was able to turn off Time machine with no difficulty. Perhaps you need to read the help.
    The faces feature use a one time scan of the iPhoto Library when you first launch 09. Thereafter it does nothing at all unless you use it.

  • Face Recognition Problem in PSE 12

    I am having a problem with face recognition with PSE 12/Windows 8.1. It is a new install, at first all went well. I could enter names and they were immediately accepted. As faces repeated recognition was working and I could click the green arrow and it would accept or even click the red x and make another selection as it should be. Then I started having problems when it would come up with the correct face I would click the green arrow and instead of accepting the box would go to "Who is This" and it would take numerous attempts to get the program to accept the name. Next I started having problems just entering names, again instead of accepting it would loop me through the "Who is This" numerous times. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    We sincerely apologize for the problem that you have been facing while using a trackpad with Photoshop Elements 11 & 12 on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    We have been actively working with Apple to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. We're hopeful this will get completely resolved in an upcoming update of Yosemite(MAC 10.10).
    In the meanwhile, you have two options to work around this problem:
    1. Option1: Use a mouse instead of the trackpad
    2. Option2: Install a plug-in which should workaround the problem
    Plug-in installation instructions:
    1. Close Photoshop Elements
    2. Download this zip file to a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop)
    3. Unzip the file, WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin, and move it to the Plug-In folder:
    • For Elements 12 – //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 12/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    • For Elements 11 - //Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/Support Files/Plug-Ins/
    You can verify the plug-in is installed by launching the Photoshop Elements Editor and choosing Help > System Info... Scroll to the bottom of the text in the dialog and look for the plug-in name "WhiteWindowWorkaround.plugin".
    Note: This plugin is a temporary workaround and should be used until this issue is addressed in Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). Please remove this plugin once the issue is officially resolved by Apple.
    If you are using a stylus in conjunction with a trackpad, you might see issues with your trackpad. Workaround in this particular case is to use mouse instead of the trackpad.
    Hope this helps!

  • Performance, stability and usability face recognition

    Hi
    I have been testing out the face recognition feature in Lightroom CC and I have some questions/comments
    My hardware setup:
    CPU: i7-5820K
    GPU: Geforce GTX 750 Ti, running Benq 3201 UHD display
    RAM: 32 GB DDR4
    Disk: 1 500 GB SSD for OS and SW, 1 240 GB SSD for Lightroom catalog, 1 6 TB disk with the photos
    I run Windows 8.1 with the latest updates.
    I have according to Lightroom 120.000 photos in lightroom, mainly RAW, but also quite many JPG. The photos are organized by year, month, camera on disk. A year as typically from 5.000 to 10.000 photos.
    Performance
    1) It takes days for Lightroom to go through the photos to do face recognition. That is ok, but according to Windows task manager Lightroom seldom use more than 10% CPU, there is little disk access and there is pleny of available RAM. What is the bottleneck?
    2) If I try to handle all the photos together the pc starts lagging and everything goes very SLOW, but still no visable stress on the hardware - still about 10% CPU for Lightroom. It can take minutes to put photos to a named person. If I only take one year at the time the respons times are ok.
    Stability
    1) When I work with all the photos at once Task Manager says "Not Responding" a lot for the Lightroom entry.
    2) The screen goes "white foggy" from time to time indicating that the pc/Lightroom has sever problems
    3) The screen flickers sometimes when it is stressed out.
    4) If I leave it at "All pictures" it is very often inpossible to use it again, I do not get contact with Lightroom, I have to terminate the Lightroom prosess and start again
    5) Other applications works allright, but might lagg when Lightroom is very stressed
    Usability
    1) I thought face recognition would become better and better as it learned from more and more photos. It does not seem that way. It is quite often not helpful at all - you have to do a lot manually
    2) It seems it does not use other photos for face recognition than current folder, that means that when I can not use the root folder due to the performance problems I have to go through the same process again and again
    3) The algoritems does not seem to take time line into account, when trying to find who the person is. I think that is something that is important to to to make it more useful.
    I have been waiting for face recognition in Lightroom for many years and so far I am not very pleased.
    Anybody that have had nice expirience with face recognition so far?
    Any workarounds?
    What do the Lightroom engineers have to say about this?

    I agree with all the observations above.  I have a 25,000 photo database, and am running a Dell Precision with 16gb ram.  After people tagging for a while, the screen starts to flicker back and forth between Lightroom and other open apps, or the desktop.  It won't respond until restart or put the computer to sleep & login again.
    The face recognition is very poor in comparison to Picasa.  The more faces you identify, the more bizarre and random the suggestions for a match become.  All races, genders and with very few apparent common features.  I would prefer NOT to have thousands of suggested names to sort through.  If the face doesn't match within close parameters, just leave it in "unknown" without suggestions.
    I like the way Picasa groups similar faces, then asks "Who is this?"
    Auto-complete for people names is maddening.  If you enter a space (don't names have a space between first name & surname?), it apparently resets.  So if I type in John Martin, it wants to auto-complete as John Martin Smith. (John Martin & Martin Smith being two DIFFERENT individuals already identified).  I already have 10 men named David in my file.  As soon as I hit the space, (assuming no one has his last name as a first name), auto-complete DOESN'T work at all.  So my husband's name, (a very common first name) has to be typed in its entirety each time.  Picasa doesn't have a problem with spaces... 
    I have a huge collection of magazine clippings and sewing patterns.  I would like a way to exclude certain folders from the face search.  I don't even want to see those faces.
    I'm stunned by the huge number of non-human things identified as faces.  Once in a great while, I can see why... but I never had this problem in Picasa.
    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Lightroom, but don't think this feature is up to snuff, at all, no way, no how.

  • PSE11 Face Recognition Window Disapears

    I recently upgraded from PSE8 to PSE11.  I am trying to use face regonition to tag the people in my photos.  There are only a few photos with people tagged in them that I did manually.  Most photos are newly imported from camera, but some where converted over from PSE8.  When I run "add people" on all media, it prepares the files for a few seconds and then tells me "people recognition supports photos only.  your selection includes invalid items which will be skipped."  I say OK to this, a window flashes on the screen and dissapears, and then nothing happens.  I also try to "add people" on smaller folders, but it says there are "no new people found in your selection" although none of the photos are tagged yet.  An ideas on how to fix this?

    Please go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\11.0\Organizer on Win and ~/library/App Support/Adobe/Elements Organizer/11.0/Organizer on MAC and delete the following files.
    psa.prf
    status.dar
    Now relaunch Organizer and run face recognition. This should work fine.
    Thanks

  • Face recognition is not recognizing faces

    i just rebuilt my iphoto library today with a mac tech and now my face recognition isn't recognizing faces. any idea what's up?

    I feel duped, I bought this new I-Life version specifically for the Faces feature and after giving it 5 good matches for my daughter it spent all night and came up matching virtually every face male or female,even some sculpture and a watch face along with leopards and a few other african animals. Come on, this is pathetic!!!!!!! Can I get a refund?
    I had five other family members identified and it listed them as matches for my daughter too....I would have to give up my computer for the rest of the year for it to get a few matches for each.

  • Face recognition to log in WITHOUT typed password option?

    I'm wondering if there's a way to completely disable type-written passwords for accounts in Windows 7.  I want to have everyone who uses the machine log in solely through facial recognition, and not even have the OPTION of ever physically typing a password, like hiding accounts on the login screen or something.  Is this possible?  Thanks!

    Hello.
    >>>'m wondering if there's a way to completely disable type-written passwords for accounts in Windows 7.
    I think so but I have not tried it as I am the only user on this Toshiba. Get the others to sit in front of the screen and do the "Face Recognition" skit. Then save the results named after the subject.
    Then set up the Face mode to start first, I forget where this is but I defeated mine at one time. It ought to be easy to find.  I defeated mine as the light has to be proper for a face to be recognized, I move around too much and at times, I am in a low-light room and the software does not recognize me.
    I can not lead you now as I am not on the Toshiba.  Be good.  Jean.

  • I am the only one who wants face recognition in LR ?

    first... i know where to request features and that this is not the right place.
    the feature was requested a long time ago in this forum and also at the adobe feature suggestion website.
    i really hoped that with LR 4 we will see face recognition.
    and i think it´s a feature many LR user would love to see in lightroom... right?
    i have tested a few programs and their face recognition a while ago.
    picasa was a bit buggy but the actual face recognition and tagging capability is good. IDImager face recognition was not that accurate.
    other apps i have tested... well not worth to mention.
    i still found picase and idimage usefull and while face recognition was not perfect .... it was a great help.
    please support this feature request if you like by voting here:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/face_recognition_in_lightroom
    THX!

    This seems to be a heated topic wherever it's brought up.  Let me start by saying that I work in the software industry and totally understand the tradeoffs you have to make sometimes.  You don't have infinite resources...ever.  And I understand the sensitivity in this case because for folks who have used LR for a long time and are dependent on it to get their job done, they clearly want investment in features that they know they will use.  If you have used Lightroom for a while and have an established workflow, I can totally understand why face recognition would be useless.  And if it's useless, it's logical that you'd want investment in something that was...well...useful.
    I, however, agree with the poster and believe that facial recognition is a pretty important feature for Lightroom. 
    I'd like to offer two perspectives. 
    The first is my personal perspective.  I would consider myself a casual user.  I'm a family guy.  I've got about 65k photos in my collection and they are all friends/family.  My organization scheme has been through 3-4 computers and multiple backup systems over the years.  It has been through a variety of different tools from some homegrown things to native Windows tools to Picasa.  Bottom line, I have a real mess.  Many duplicates due to funny sync strategies but being paranoid about losing photos.  Multiple folders because my wife is not so computer savvy and often makes multiple copies.  Very little organization.  We have a real mess.  I've known it for a while and have spent several months trying to find the right solution.  Picasa didn't scale for us.  IDImager was promising but they are going through some regrowth as they try to adapt to the Mac user community where it was only previously for Windows.  Lightroom was the only product I found that could come close to meeting all of my needs.  So now I have it in place.  I have all of my pictures imported into the catalog.  But I need to start tagging/organizing.  I want facial recognition to get me started...having to go through 65,000 and manually type keywords for each one is unreasonable.  For new photos I import I can do it piecemeal...no problem, and no facial regonition required.  Until I can get the existing photos into a searchable/maintainable state, however, I can't take full advantage of Lightroom.  While it may not be forever useful, it's crticial to new users getting started with the product.
    The second is an industry perspective.  Adobe has clearly branded itself as the leader in image editing technology.  Heck, "photoshop" is now used as a verb in the average household for people who have never even used the product!  That's awesome marketing.  That's awesome brand presence.  You don't get to be a leader by saying yes to everything.  You have to selectively say no.  But in cases where you are falling behind from a technology perspective and leaving an obvious hole in your portfolio (especially while potential competition is buying up companies/IP to compete).
    In my opinion, the "personal DAM" market is underserved today.  The digital age is causing even casual users to outgrow products like Picasa.  People are looking for something new.  While Lightroom is probably overkill for most of them (me included), it's one of the few products on the market that has a large support community and actually does have enough features to support all of the needs of the home.  While more expensive than most of the other home products, it's not out of reach even for the casual user.  Adobe has the potential to grow market share (actually, to even grow the market) if they target those needs and improve their "on ramp" for new users.  Besides face recognition, this is probably 80%+ a marketing issue and not one requiring product features.

  • Why does Face Recognition drop confirmed faces

    I guess Face Recognition is not ready for prime time.  Sometimes after a face has been confirmed, it will just disappear. 

    Hey nonnalg,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with AirPrint, specifically not being able to find the printer after a short amount of time. The following resource may provide a solution:
    About AirPrint - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311
    For best results
    Make sure your software is up to date. For iOS, verify that your device is using the latest version of iOS available and that the app you're printing from is up to date. For OS X, Use Software Update to update OS X and apps you've purchased from the Mac App Store.
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of an Apple AirPort Base Station or AirPort Time Capsule are not supported with AirPrint. Connect your AirPrint printer to your network using Wi-Fi, or connect it to a LAN port on your AirPort device using Ethernet.
    Make sure that your AirPrint printer is connected to your network before attempting to print. Some AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a network after being turned on.
    If you're unable to print
    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
    Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
    Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
    Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
    Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • LRCC Face recognition - best practices?

    Ok so we are all new to the wonderful world of face recognition in LR.  I'm trying to work out what would be the best practices for using this.
    A little bit of background - I have a catalog of over 200,000 images.  In addition to portrait and wedding clients, a significant part of my work is with models and another significant part of my work is theatre photography.  I have be wanting some sort of face recognition to help with both for some time.
    What are your namining conventions for people? - here's mine:
    Ideally I would label people as "surname, firstname" so that I can keep members of a family together in "named people" display, but commas are not allowed in names.  Also the professional name of many models doesn't fit that pattern eg "Strawberry Venom" or "Cute as Sin" are to models I have worked with.
    I am trying to come up with a sensible naming convention at the moment it is "Surname/ Firstname" for clients, theatre folk and friends/family.  Models are still a problem, at present I am thinking of "Surname/ Firstname (model name(s))"  While I may not be able to remember the real names of models, I do usually know the names from model releases.  This naming will still permit me to filter/find them in the keyword List panel by just entering the model name.
    On final addition I am making to this this naming convention is the use of a hashtag suffix to the name:  #F for friends and family, #C for clients, #T for theatre/actors and #M for models.  This enables me to filter on just models, or just actors, or just friends and familiy.  Where people fall into multiple categories I add multiple hashtags.  So photos of me would be keyworded with "Butterfield/ Ian #F #T"
    Unknown / unidentified people.
    What I am not yet certain about is how to handle unknown / unidentified people.  Unidentified people fall into a number of different categories.
    People I don't know and I am never likely to know (Eg random strangers on the street, local tour guides on holiday, random people in the background etc)
    This group is relatively easy to deal with - that is to simply delete the face recognition, End of story.
    People I don't know the names of yet but I am likely to find out (Eg actors in a production for which I don't have a programme)
    For these people I am making up a unique name using the format "date/ Context-Gendernn" Eg an unknown male actor at Stockport Garrick Theatre would be named as "20150313/ SGT-M01"  Although this may appear a complex solution it has a number of advantages.  If/when I do learn the name of the individual (Eg I photograph them in a different production) it is simply a case of renaming the people keyword.  Creating a unique name and not simple assigning all unknowns to a bucket name will help the face recognition algorithms find this person without it being confused by have different faces assigned to the same name. I am also using the hashtage #U to make it easier to filter the unknown faces when I need to.
    People I don't know the names of and there is only a slim possibility of meeting/photographing again (Eg guests as a client weeding)
    It feels as though I out to just delete the face recognition and have done with it, and this is what I would do except for thing. Other than manually drawing face regions I have not yet found a way to get lightroom to rescan a folder for faces if you have previously deleted the face recognition.  This means that deleting face regions from a large number of people is something that cannot be easily reversed.  I might just leave these people in the "Unnamed People" category... at lease until such time as there is a way to rescan a folder or colectoin.
    Summary
    My practices are still evolving. But I hope these thoughts and idea will help others think through the issues and come up with solutions that work for their situation.  I am interested in hearing how other people are using the face recognition system.  Especially if anyone is aware of any 'best practices' that Adobe or anyone else has recommended.

    Glad it helped.
    Yes and no.  You can still put the people keywords into hierarchies within the keyword list - you can arrange them just like any other keywords.so you just create a "smith family" keyword and store "john smith" under it.  What you can't do is apply BOTH smith family and john smith the the same face.
    My use of the hash tags came about because I initially had a top level keyword for models, one for clients, one for theatre peple and one for family and firends.  Then discovered that some of the theatre folk were also clients (headshots) and what to do when a friend is also a client.  So the hash tag system means a person can be both a friend, a model, an actor as well as being a client!  (#T #C #M #F).

  • How do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto

    how do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto?  I mean forever!!

    So by deleting the "Face Profile" or whatever it's called for the individual Faces keeps searching for, you think that's not a solution?
    The actual pictures identified by faces are not deleted. Only the avatar and name you list to be looked for within faces is what you're removing.
    Do you have a better solution? I'm all ears.

Maybe you are looking for
