Is it possible to limit Face Detection to specific Libaries?

I have several different libaries and would only benefit the face recognition tagging in a couple of these. Is there a means to limit what libaries Aperture scans?
-- Jeff

Hello Jeff,
I turned on FACES and after 48+ hours it was still churning through libraries - maxing out CPU... I needed my computer by that time and killed Aperture.
If you have tasks, that run a long time, I'd recommend to launch the "Activity" window.
Aperture Application menu -> Window -> Show Activity (or Shift-⌘-0)
From the Activity Window you usually can pause or cancel task, without having to force quit Aperture; after a force quit the Aperture library may need repairing or preference files may be corrupted.
If your force quitting did any damage, use the first aid as described in

Limiting Face Detection?

Is there a way to limit Face Detection to certain projects? I importing my Aperture 2 library with about 90K images. It has been motoring along for several days, but at the rate it is going, it's going to be a month or so before it detect faces in all images. Some of my projects have a lot of random crowd shots - I really don't need it to try and find faces there.
Thanks

I need a Smart Album that only contains photos with NO faces detected

I've been fiddling with the smart album settings, and I can't seem to find a way to do this. iPhoto will miss detection on some faces, and I need a way to see ONLY the photos that iPhoto didn't find a face for.
This is NOT the same as a smart album with an "unknown" face. This is a smart album that will show ALL photos with NO face detected at all.
Is this possible?

Boy, why can't we use Smart Folders as a criteria for creating another Smart Folder? This works in iTunes! You can use a Smart Playlist as a criteria for creating another Smart Playlist.
Well, here is what you can do...
Create a Smart Folder that gathers all of the identified Faces. Faces --> is not --> unnamed
Then drag all those photos to a standard album titled Faces Named
Next Create a Smart folder that gathers all of the unnamed Faces. Faces --> is --> unnamed
Now drag all those photos to a standard album title Faces Unnamed.
Finally, create a Smart Album with the following criteria...
Album --> is not --> Faces Named
Album --> is not --> Faces Unnamed
That should gather every photo that iPhoto has determined that no faces exist.

Face detection based tagging

i click a lot of pictures of my family members. a lot of repeat faces therefore.
is there a way to tag images based on a reference image (using face detection?).
might be possible now but i could not find anything through a google search.
thanks!

Bad face detection quota

Hi,
I am very disappointed after switching from Picasa (on my old Windows computer) to iPhoto (on my new Mac). iPhoto detects only 50% of all the faces but Picasa over 80%! I have tested it with 6000 photos. Can I still set preferences somewhere, for example increasing sensitivity or similar?
Thanks!
PS: It's possible to import faces from Picasa to iPhoto? I have no desire to put hundreds of faces by hand...

I know that there's no agreed standard, and I know that there's nothing from either iPhoto or Picasa that's going to do this, but I keep hoping that someone has written a migration routine - to save me the effort of writing one!
Can anyone confirm if the iPhoto database is open? it may not be the preferred method for making updates, but if there's a published spec for the database and a mechanism for updating it, then there should be a way forward.
One option I have considered to avoid using the database is to manually name a single instance of each known face in my library - this will generate the iPhoto lookup ID in the database - and also in the EXIF data for that photo.
I could then map that ID to the Picasa generated ID, and then all I have to do is take the face information from the Picasa INI file, translate from Picasa to iPhoto ID, and encode the rectangle and ID information in the iPhoto EXIF data.
Would that work? it probably wouldn't work as a commercial offering, because it's expecting the user to do a lot to get things started, but it looks like it should work.
So - if I can come up with this algorithm for something that many people want, surely someone else has also considered it - and if they are a betterand more focussed developer than me, perhaps it's already written and tested. Somewhere.

Hi,

The * items message that is at the bottom
*FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection.

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.

Is it possible to limit the number of attachments

Is is possible to limit the number of attachments that the mail server will receive in a message. For example if the email has 5 or more attachments reject it or through it in the bitbucket.
The reason I ask is I have a remote site that is sending me 500+ email messages with 40 attachments in each. Well with virus scanning in the conversion channel it really backs things up.
I have looked in the manual but have not been able to find anything.
I am running ims5.2 patch 1.15 on HP-UX. Soon it will be patch 1.25 when school is out.
Thanks,
Gary

Since each message is usually in a separate MIMEpart, you could use the conversion channel to do what you're asking, but . . .
Routing every message through conversion will be a pretty big performance hit.
How about simply blocking that particular site with an
ORIG_SEND_ACCESS
mapping entry in your mappings file?

Is possible to limit sharing bandwidth of peers in Netgroup ?

Hi everyone,
I am creating an audio-video conference tool using flex and FMS 3.5. I am using Netgroupfor publishing audio-video.
Issue is that each peer share its bandwidth. I set Netstream.multicastPushNeighborLimit = 0 but peers still share there bandwidth. Is it possible to limit sharing bandwidth of peers in Netgroup? if yes then How? please reply.
Thank you.

Thanks Michael,
I found one more issue with P2P. There is a delay of 4-5 second in live streaming.
Can u have any solution how to remove this delay?
multicastPushNeighborLimit
multicastWindowDuration
multicastRelayMarginDuration
multicastAvailabilityUpdatePeriod
multicastFetchPeriod
multicastAvailabilitySendToAll
Can these properties help if yes than how can I use these properties to remove delay.
Thank You

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...)

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.

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>
<filter-name>ApplicationSessionExpiryFilter</filter-name>
