Go or you picasa web album and click on "Person" tab. I do agree this could be a great addition to digikam software.Ĭurrently, iPhoto and Picasa (web) are doing this. We are always discussing when we'll break the API anyway so perhaps the requirements of face detection should help mould the API changes? I wonder however if such a capability could be included as a kipi plugin? What more would the API need to do to enable this. I can see how Face Detection could automate the assignment of these people tags. faces or other special notes of interest. Smaller regions can be defined that represent e.g. I'd imagine an extension of the current tags concept to store always a region (defaults to the whole image) of an item. Facebook - Tags of regions to represent your friends etc. From my point of view this would help for my Sync plugin (yeah I know I've made 0 progress lately!) when integrating with e.g. > This should have many applications (-> separate B.K.O entry?) > associate those with a tag is indeed something of use > Your suggestion to describe regions of an image and After this, even outside scripts can be used to facedetect and recognition. I think rectangles should be fine, no need to make it complicated and support circles or even AND OR and whatnot. So in short: Digikam first needs a way to tag/describe regions of an image. Untagged regions could then be sent to the recognition engine/script and be tagged automatically after. With the things implemented in the first point, it should be possible to extract the faces/regions from already tagged photos and train the face recognitioner. This way, you can use a person name/tag and tag photo regions. Further, a tag shall be associatable to that selected region (that would not only allow faces, but other details to be selected - as flickr allows it). user could select a frame as done for selection now), and digikam would store this information somewhere in the database. The user OR a program would say where the the faces are (e.g. The simple / first thing I think should be implemented is face detection and face outline display in digikam. The second is to recognize the face at the detected region and say who it is. The first is to actually detect the position and region of a face, or all the faces on the photo. There are two things: Face detection and face recognition. OK, I will stop at this point, maybe someone else has more luck. Presumably all this will require some more digging in the original opencvĪlso note that the libface project does not appear that active,Īfter an initial check-in 6 weeks ago nothing happened. The region of interest with a face to be recognized is not clear to me. Then there is ellip-mask.jpg which provides a mask, maybe(?) usedįor the input images. (note to self: don't use my own pictures, but those of models, So far I only managed to get a segmentation fault. Presumably it is train followed by recognize or facedetect.įor train one has to supply a file which contains names and

Then libface needs some tweaking in the header files so that opencv is found,īut compiles fine after that. I had a quick look at installing opencv (which fortunately exists Well, this will be a long road until success: My girlfriend and I use it since years, and it's been unvaluable for managing our photo collection. And by the way, thanks for making digikam. It would be very cool if digkam would get such a feature. If it gets that, it'll be my personal killer feature to use fspot.

Gnome's F-Spot will get this feature trough the summer of code project. libFace is another one that specializes in face rec/det and uses intel's lib internally. There are some face detection and recognition libraries out there that could be used, one well-known is the Intel's OpenCV lib. What I would like to see is a plugin that automatically detects faces and allows one to drag a tag from the tag tree on, or just add a tag to the detected face. Tags help here, but not all photos are tagged through the reason above. When searching for photos, you often try to find a person - how it looked at a time, or generally need all photos of a certain person. While setting tags for a whole album (france, wedding, 2007) is easy and fast to do, tagging each of the 200+ photos in an album with the people on it is impossible. Tagging photos by hand is not doable anymore since it takes too much time. Reaching my personal 10.000 photos barrier in the next weeks, I face a problem:
