Facial recognition problem

I just got Lightroom 6 and was sreening my previous catalog (LR3) to do facial recognition. I focus on few people (~10) to start with and I was pretty happy to get few hundred pictures recognize. and then suddently I got three facial identifaction tags mixed up in a single one without any warning? I thought that I did a misstake but now I got sometime an error message when trying to identify manual a face in a picture (see below). So I am worring that my catalog corrupted.
I have a catalog of around 60000 pictures that I have been working on since 3 years without any problem.
Any of you had a similar problem, could it be a bug in the apps?
Thank for your help.
Regards

  • IPhoto 8.1.1 Fixes Facial Recognition Problems

    That's what I have observed from my testing on a library of over 15,000 pictures.
    It is important to "Detect Missing Faces" as explained in the appended support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3941
    Your computer will work long and hard at this task ... best to leave it alone while you are having Thanksgiving dinner! When done, quit iPhoto and expect it to save a very large file describing all the faces it recognized. In particular, the 'faces' files in the library will be much larger, presumably because they now contain much more information.
    The recommended procedure to identify a few faces manually and then let iPhoto find the rest automatically is unchanged, but what a difference in performance! Expect iPhoto to immediately select many pictures that "look like" the faces you found manually. Also, expect to have to confirm or reject many of the selections ... it seems that iPhoto thinks "everyone looks like everyone else" at first, but it gets better as you improve its training. Also, expect the facial recognition process to occur while you are training by accepting or rejecting selections ... don't be surprised if certain selections are suddenly 'withdrawn' from consideration as you accept or reject others.
    You should also expect to see the "Is This ...?" pop-up much more frequently. I observed that as soon as I named one picture of a person in multiple photographs they were immediately identified in successive photographs, especially if the photographs were taken at the same event. Of course, the real test will be if iPhoto's facial recognition can recognize a person as they change over time, especially when they are children.
    There are still a few problems. If you have a large number of photographs of the same person, iPhoto will select them all ... and more. There needs to be an easier way to confirm or reject the selections rather than laboriously clicking on each. Expect family members to be erroneously suggested as matches, especially children with their parents and grandparents ... what else would you expect? Glasses are still a problem, especially sun glasses, but it is surprising how well iPhoto can "see through" such an obvious problem. Finally, a full face, even in profile is necessary for reliable identification ... putting a hand over the mouth or wearing a hat over the eyes defeats the identification process.

    Thank you, Henk ... that's also how it works for me. It seems that the 8.1.1 update shifted more of the work load to the initial search for faces, i.e., "Detect Missing Faces". However, it still takes a little time to match each face, particularly if there are many faces. The big difference is that a little time is a lot better than an seemingly-infinite amount of time, which was how it used to work ... at least it seemed that way.
    The library on which I have done most of my testing is mostly "people pictures" ... school classes, family gatherings, birthday parties and sporting events. One of the sporting events is a professional baseball game photographed from behind the first base dugout at the level of the playing field. Pictures of the batters at home plate show hundreds of eager fans behind the third base dugout intently watching from the other side of the field. As the pictures were taken with a telephoto lens, all those faces are not only in the field of view, but also clearly in focus ... iPhoto finds them all! Not that I know them, much less are interested in naming them, but those hundreds of faces take time to be found and there are many pictures like that.
    Thanks also for the tip to use the Alt/Option key. I can use that for exactly this situation ... ignoring the faces of people I am not interested in recognizing, much less naming.

  • Qosmio G55-q802 - facial recognition problem

    Ever since I received my laptop the facial recognition program will not work. It comes up with an error and says camera device failed to initialize. Either the device is in use by another application, or it is not recognized by the system. The Toshiba camera utility works. Ive even tried installing the latest drivers off the web. I saw one post on a yahoo site that stated turn off cec_main in task manager but that program is not even running.
    I tried calling tech support which was totally useless. They told me to call back and ask for tier II. Anyone else experiencing this same frustration? Other than this issue this laptop is flawless!!!!!
    G55-q802 with Vista 64 bit installed

    Hi my friend.
    Listen, I choose Windows Vista 32 Bit. I do not know if it is considerable in this error.
    But I had the same problem.
    I now have solved. How?
    First, I uninstalled the software Toshiba Face Recognition.
    Then, I downloaded the software from the Toshiba Web Page and reinstalled.
    Then it functions great.
    Please, try it and notify if it was successfully.

  • Lightroom 6 / CC2015 - Facial Recognition Terribly Slow, not using all of CPU or GPU, still keeps going when paused.

    This is actually a couple of issue but wondering if others are experiencing it and worked through it.
    I am using a Dual Xeon CPU 3.2 ghz Mac Pro, Catalog on SSD, Images files on Mirrored Pair, Dedicated GPU (max I can install in my version of Mac Pro) and hardware acceleration enabled in Lightroom.
    I watched the Lightroom 6 Facial Recognition tutorial which leaves out a lot of the bulk editing and says basically let it loose on your whole catalog.. NOT recommended.
    I started out with a couple small portrait galleries that identified a couple hundred total people to seed facial recognition so it didn't suggest everyone is the first person I confirmed (which it will do otherwise). I have also optimized my catalog multiple times.
    I have encountered the following serious performance issues and bugs with Facial Recognition.:
    Lightroom Facial Recognition goes to a ridiculous crawl after about 2000 images to be confirmed. (i.e. 2000-2300 in a couple hours, 800-1200 in the next 12 hours)
    Lightroom becomes largely unresponsive after having a fair number of images to be confirmed, even after pausing Address and Facial Recognition. So even selecting 4 rows of images can take 5 minutes with several long pauses.
    Once I select and click confirm it takes up to 2 minutes to update the "to be confirmed" list again.
    When I click on an individual at the top of the page, pause facial recognition and address lookup it still continues to "Look for similar faces" [BUG!!!!!!!!] even though all I want to do is just confirm some individuals more quickly in bulk with the images already identified.. not continue to look for more as a work around for the painfully slow responsiveness of the module.
    The odd part is that with all of the performance issues Lightroom will not use more than 20-30% of my two Xeon CPUs, barely touches my GPU (<10% CPU, 30% memory), my and no more than 35% of my memory. Computer Temps are also barely above startup temperatures and 15-25 degrees cooler than when I run other applications which will consume my entire CPU and memory if I let it. I have explored Lightroom's settings but seen nothing further I can configure to speed it all up.  I have also attempted the operation on images on the SSD, my drobo (known to be slow), an independent fast disk I have, and a pair of raided disks and have the same issues.
    I will also note that all of my other applications seem to continue to operate just fine.. the slowness seems to be contained to the Lightroom application itself.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    A big problem continues to be that once you wait for it to index all your faces you find it missed over half of them. There are many cases where it missed the subject of the photo but managed to find a tiny waiter off in the shadows. I don't know how this will ever get fixed; it seems it'll require an update that lets you rerun the indexing a few times, maybe with different levels of granularity. I doubt that's coming.
    It stands to reason that a system that hands you thousands of false positives for every face can't recognize if something is or isn't a face in over half the cases. Faces in profile or tilted down, especially with the eyes looking down, are bypassed completely. I have directories with a thousand people shots in them, many with multiple people, and instead of LR6 returning an index of 1.5k or so, it gives me 385. I'm not sure how valuable the search advantages will be in this case; I can see it not returning some favorite shots of people.
    Anyway, for anyone looking to get past the spinning wheels, work on one directory at a time. Then once a directory is done, keep it selected so you have the same thumbnails of identified faces in the confirmed area, and control-select the next directory. You won't have to reseed the confirmed faces area this way and things move much faster when you're not working with the entire library. It also helps to click each person in the confirmed faces and work in that view sometimes. It'll return faces of family members of that person and you can rename those. You can watch it focus its top results as you confirm but, annoyingly, it doesn't narrow the total suggestions but actually expands them the more faces you confirm and the fewer correct positives remain. (This seems opposite to how it should work. It should give you fewer faces the more you confirm as it gets a better idea what the person looks like and has fewer shots left unconfirmed of that person.)  Yet, even with the expanded results, faces will still escape it and pop up in other people's results as false positives.
    Bottom line: It's only a little better than manual tagging, and not as thorough because of the poor hit rate of the initial indexing. But it works better if you stick to isolated directories and occasionally individual people. At least that way you don't have to wait for it to re-sort tens of thousands of results with every click.

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 11: Facial Recognition not working.

    When I click on either 1 photo or 10 photos to add a name to the faces it says "no new people found in your selection". I have tried to only click on 1 photo, then click on mark face and it will say that this photo has not been analyzed yet, even though it has, and after analyzing it will say the same thing. Please help! I have over 20,000 photos to put names to the faces.
    Thanks!!!!

    I have also tried to repair my catalog and optimize it and neither has fixed my problem. The only thing I think thats left is uninstalling and reinstalling but will my pictures and the faces I have applied so far still be the way the are now?
    I don't use facial recognition and can't help you on that matter. Repairing and optimizing can do no harm but won't help either. Don't reinstall, that won't help you even if your catalogs will be preserved. I'd wait for other answers from people acquainted with the facial recognition feature.

  • Facial recognition

    Hi!
    I enabled facial recognition and trained it to recognize me.
    My problem is that if I sign on using my password before the facial recognition begins, the system seems to freeze. As in turn if off and wait 30 seconds.
    The blue light next to the camera comes on. Sometimes the Toshiba wireless info box comes up, sometimes it only comes up partially.
    I disabled it, but it still seems to wierd out often when I wake it up from a nap or hibernation.
    Ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    The iPad itself doesn't recognize faces & the import appears limited. In iTunes you must select Faces you want to sync to the iPad. These (and only these) then show-up under the Faces tab in the iPad's Photos application. Sync'ed Albums & Events do not appear to sync the Face data...

  • PSE 9 - Error converting facial recognition data

    After PSE 9 successfully converted my PSE 8 database (16.5K items), I went to open the newly converted database. I received a message that it was converting the facial recognition data.
    The first time I tried doing this, the facial recognition conversion stalled at 80%. So I deleted the new database and reconverted the PSE 8 data.
    This time, the facial data conversion went to 100%, but followed up with several messages that the conversion failed and that most (all?) of the facial recognition data was deleted and would have to be redone.
    Fortunately, I have only played with facial recognition a bit and didn't rely on it for tag generation.
    However, I thought someone might want to know about this. I would be happy to upload my PSE 8 catalog if Adobe want's to try to recreate the problem. It is almost 850MB, so it would take a wjile to upload....

    What yetanotherron reported looks very similar to the problem I had after upgrading to PSE 9. The PSE 9 Organizer remained in "Restoring facial recognition data" forever and I could never use it.
    In another thread on this forum I saw the recommendation to hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift while clicking on "Organizer". I did this, holding these keys until the Catalog Manager came up. I could then convert the catalog to a PSE 9 version and open it. From then on I could start the Organizer without problems.
    The problem seems to be that the installation routine of the upgrade has no provision for converting the catalog from the older version.
    I still have these problems with the converted catalog:
    1. all the RAW files are hidden in my PSE 8 catalog. The "Hidden" status is ignored by Organizer 9 so they are all visible again.
    2. the folder location data after conversion shows pictures in the wrong folder. That's quite a mess which I have reported to Adobe.
    I'm afraid Adobe launched PSE 9 before it was ready.

  • Multiple iPhoto libraries facial recognition

    I have decided to use multiple iPhoto libraries. In one library I have used facial recognition for all of my photos. Q: When I move to the next library will iPhoto recognize those faces?

    No
    One of the many reasons that multiple libraries are not recommended - iPhoto is a SQLite database and it is most powerful when you have one database - there is no connection of any sort between different libraries

  • Zen Vision:M 30GB recognition problems...Big t

    Hi, 2 days ago i ran into a problem with my Zen. I had to charge it, as the battery was low and had to put some new music on it.. I plugged it into the USB port on my Laptop, where all of it's software is installed. The Zen wasn't recognized. Instead of the charging screen it normally started up with, it started up with the play screen(the screen it shows when a song is playing). I looked at the battery icon in the top right corner, and it wasn't doing anything. I turned the Zen off and started it up again. Nothing changed. I restarted my computer. Nothing changed. I shut down my computer and started it back up again. Nothing changed.
    I took it to my desktop computer, a Compaq, and tried it there. It worked, but not how i was expecting it to work. The battery icon started flashing with the little lightning bolt, acknowledging that it was charging. But the play screen was still there. The odd thing with this is, i left the player to charge for several hours. When i came back, the Zen was in some form of idle shut-down. The screen was black, except for the battery icon with the lightning bolt. Oddly enough, he battery bar hadn't filled up anymore than when i left it. Upon unplugging the player though, the Zen turned off. When i turned it back on, the bar had filled up more. It wasn't fully charged though.
    I plugged the cable back into it, and this time, the battery icon WASN'T charging. It just had the play screen on. It wasn't doing ANYTHING this time. Frustrated, i went out and bought the wall charger, and now i have a full battery. But it doesn't solve why my computer won't recognize my player.
    Today, i un-installed the software that came with the player and re-installed it. It didn't do anything. I installed the software on my desktop computer, and THAT didn't work either. So i came to the website here and used the trouble-shoot guide. That didn't help, and this is where my problem differs from the other posters here who have recognition problems:
    Back to my laptop: I have Windows Service Pack 2. I installed Windows Media Player . I went to the Device Manger, like the trouble-shoot guide said to. The kicker: Windows Portable Devices is NOT, i repeat NOT in my Device Manager. Neither does the Creative player either. I clicked on "The player does not appear in Device manager". That link showed me a diagram of a desktop computer, so went back to my desktop computer. I did everything above mentioned, and Windows Portable Devices is not in the device manager of my desktop computer either. Further reading the trouble-shoot guide, i could NOT locate "Other Devices" or "Unknown Devices" in my Device Manger on either desktop or laptop. There's nothing "Creative" related or "Zen" related at all in any of the Device programs.
    I don't know what to do. All of the trouble-shoot guides don't discuss my issue at all. Everything is "If an MP3 player is reported working properly in Device Manager, but it is not detected or listed in Windows Media Player or Creative Media Explorer..."
    Mine isn't even detected in Device Manager. My Device Manager has nothing regarding my Zen or Windows Portable Devices.
    I'm thinking about messing with it in Recovery mode, but i don't want to erase everything i have on here, just to have my player still not work. I'm going to try messing with this at my friend's house to check the cable and the player there too.
    But any help regarding my situation would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy.

    I tried my uncle's Zen Vision: M 30GB on my laptop and strange things happened. My laptop recognized the player as an unknown device and said i needed to install the MTP driver. I did that, and upon doing so, my laptop recognized my Uncle's player as a Portable device, allowing me to transfer songs to his player. But it STILL doesn't recognize MY player. Email support says i have to send it in for repairs, but i don't know...
    Any luck with you?

  • TS1702 Can anyone explain to me if iPhoto for iPod/iPad is suppose to have facial recognition. I downloaded it for that purpose but cant get it to work. I was about to buy an iPad but without the Facial Recognition I won't bother.

    I need to have a Facial Recognition program for the iPad. I use iPhoto on the Mac and need to be able to use the Facial Recognition on the iPad.

    I'm not sure where did you get that?
    iPhoto for OS X does have facial recognition. The iPad version doesn't.
    newer iPhone and iPad do have facial recognition in their camera applications (for auto-focus).

  • Debian Linux character recognition problem

    Maybe this shouldn't be on this forum, but perhaps someone can help me...
    I have Jrun 3.1, java 2 1.4 and Debian Linux.
    On our test server everything was hunky dory, running perfectly.
    But once everything was on the real server, we've had a character recognition problem. All of the higher characters are just replaced by a y or a ?.
    I'm pretty sure that we can exclude java from the problem, the i18n.jar, which I believe holds all the international stuff is there and in the classpath (exactly as on the test server) and jrun is exactly as on the test server because we copied every folder as it was.
    Therefore I think we can bring it down to Linux (Debian).
    I cannot find where to look in Debian for any kind of keyboard or locale problem. Anyone know what to do?
    kbdconfig command doesn't exist on our system.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    We are in Italy, by the way.
    Thanks.

    If you check out the default file encoding you'll find that it's 7-bit ASCII; no characters > '\u007F' come out as they should. This applies as well to compiling as to running.
    You can compile with another character encoding using the command line options, like: "javac -encoding ISO-8859-1 package/YourClass.java" (available at least in 1.4) and "java -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 package.YourClass".

  • Facial Recognition-- Best Practice

    Question about facial recognition for tagging, Lets say you have a person who has baby pictures, child pictures, teenager, and adult pictures.
    should you tell PE that these are different people (john infant, john child, john teenager, john adult) to make the searching more accurate. (then you can combine them manually)
    Or, should you tell PE that these are the same people  John, and it can figure out the changes without any confusion.

    Good questions.  Annecdotally, PSE automatically recognized a photo of me when I was 1, after I tagged a number of photos of me as an adult.  Don't know how representative that is, but I would bet that it's not going to recognize me as a teenager!
    As for technical references, I'm not aware of any that Adobe has published.  It appears that Adobe has licensed the technology from Cognitec:
    http://www.cognitec-systems.de/News-Details.61+M58e94ecfeec.0.html

    An interesting nugget:
    Facial pose requirements 
    While a frontal view of the upright face is recommended, some deviations are admissible. A horizontal (yaw) or nose up/down (pitch) rotation of the head of up to 15 degrees is admissible. Also, the face is admitted to deviate from upright view (roll) up to 15 degrees.
