Run face recognition in new photos #1

Open jasuarez opened 12 years ago

jasuarez commented 12 years ago

When taking a photo with a face, lookalike doesn't recognize any face; the photo must be opened first in gallery, and after that, then lookalike sees a face.

Yes, the picture has to be selected to be seen in full screen in order for the face recognition algorithm to work on it. This can also be done in LookAlike, not only in Gallery.

Other than that, it is true that we should provide an automatic mechanism for the new pictures to be checked for faces.

A quite simple KISS approach is to just add a "Search faces" option menu in the landscape pictures, which would run the algorithm over all those photos. If there is a photo with faces that hasn't been examined by the recognizer, it should appear in that tab, and this option would find it and move to the sugged faces tab.

Another approach, which is an evolution over the previous approach, is to make it automatic, without needing the user to select the option.

We would run the algorithm over the landscape pictures with modified date greater than last date algorithm was run. We would need to store that date in some file, and update it everytime the algorithm was executed. And we could run this process everytime the application is opened.

So we are running the algorithm over the new pictures.
