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?

Thank you so much and have a nice week end

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

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...)

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.

Does IOS 5.1 Face detection work with iPhone 4

I have upgrade IOS to 5.1 and face detection on the camera application does not seem to work. It doesn't seem to work on my iPad2 either. has anyone gotten this function/feature to work on either the iPhone 4 or iPad2?

To my knowledge it is not available on the iPhone 4. Checking the iOS 5.1 User Guide, it just mentions the iPhone 4S. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

can anyone help me ? i got lots of photos to get out of the phone... and emailing them will take me forever...
im on windows XP HE with SP3...

I figured it out!!!
I've been searching for the answer to this issue for about 6 months, but just figured it out. Follow the steps below in Windows XP and your issue will be solved. The problem is that when you first plugged your iPhone the first time, a little box popped up asking how you wanted to connect the iPhone to your computer (USB auto detect "feature" in XP). When I did this the first time, I mistakenly told it to do "nothing" every time I connect in the future. This allowed iTunes to still see the phone, but Windows didn't know what to do with the phone, so it ignored the phone. Apple really should have a Knowledge Brief about this!
Step 1: Connect your iPhone.
Step 2: Go to your Windows Control Panel in your Start Menu
Step 3: Click on "System" icon
Step 4: Click on the "Hardware" tab
Step 5: Click on the "Device Manager" button
Step 6: Scroll down to the "Imaging devices" item and click on the little "+" to the left to view the item underneath. If you right click and select "properties" on each of the items listed, one should be the iPhone. This isn't totally obvious which is the iPhone, but if you look closely in the device description, one of the devices will say something about it being an iPhone.
Step 7: make sure you're not in the middle of syncing
Step 8: Right click on the device that is the iPhone (under the "Imaging devices" section as detailed above) and click "uninstall"
Step 9: Detach the iphone cable and then reconnect it after a few seconds. This will cause Windows to reinstall the USB driver
Step 10: Now you will get that magic pop up box from Windows when you replug the iPhone back in asking how you want to connect the iPhone to Windows. Choose "Scanner and Camera Wizard" from the list presented. That will allow you to download the iPhone photos to your computer. It will also now show up under "My Computer" in File Explorer.
Best of luck!

Can there be a N79 Camera Update with Face Detecti...

Hello there, I'm yet to have this phone delivered but I'm looking forward to it. I was thrille dto hear that Nokia do updates which can also enhance this phone's cameras which is really cool. My question is if Nokia could make an update that gives the phone Face Detection, Smile Detection, and all those other modern camera features? It seems unlikely to me but I was just wondering if they could do this, and if they, can they do it soon!
Thanks.

well the nokia n86 has this feature who knows it may be in the line down the road you can use the contact us link and suggest it to nokia there
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

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.

IPod Touch camera improvements?

". . .40 percent faster photo capture, better low-light performance, and improved noise reduction. . .Improved video stabilization. . . Face detection"
Aside from Panorama and the sapphire lense.
Thanks!

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.

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?

Iphone camera not recognized in Windows 7

Hello Fellow iPhone users
I am having a problem with the iPhone camera on the iPhone 3g 3.0. I cannot get it to allow me to open up the camera to get the pictures off of it. When I go to Devices and Printers it shows the Apple Mobile Device USB driver and that is installed fine and it works in ITunes, however, it also shows the iPhone but with the yellow triangle and exclamation point. It says that the driver is not installed properly. The status is needs troubleshooting. When I go to properties, it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)". I have tried reinstalling iTunes, unplugging, replugging the iPhone. I have tried a different iPhone (a 3GS with version 3.1.2) with the same results(they both work fine in XP).
I have been trying to get this working for a few hours and have no idea what is wrong. Are there any other drivers I can get? How about reinstalling the usb drivers? This is on an Acer netbook, and it was working with Windows 7 starter, but when I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, it stopped working. I assume it is a driver issue, but I don't know what other drivers I can use or which ones to change out. Other USB cameras are working fine.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Windows sometimes won't detect the phone and allow camera/scanner access if there are pics on the iphone not taken by the iphone camera. Email any non camera taken pics to yourself, download them on your computer, then delete the pics from the iphone. When you reconnect your computer it should start the camera/scanner download as usuall.

Folks..
There was a post similar to this, but was lacking something that worked for me specifically. From the Apple site http://us.jawbone.com/pairingguide.aspx the following will pair the Jawbone (original at least) to the Iphone. I had similar problems with not being able to pair until I came across this:
Apple iPhone
_*Set the Jawbone to Pairing Mode._*
For the Original Jawbone, press and hold down the Noise Shield button for at least three seconds until the LED Indicator Light flashes red.
For the New Jawbone, press and hold down both the NoiseAssassin™ Button and the Talk Button for at least three seconds until the LED Indicator Light flashes red and white alternately.
From the iPhone Home screen, touch Settings.
Touch General.
Touch Bluetooth.
Turn Bluetooth on. (The iPhone will search for nearby Bluetooth devices.)
Touch Jawbone on the list.
Enter the PIN number "0000".
Touch Connect.
The Jawbone should now be paired with the iPhone.
I hope this helps someone - it helped me.
Thanks to all who posted before me.
