Feature: Facial Recognition Tags

[shrimpster]

Would be great to apply a facial recognition to the videos and have an icon for each person that connects to all the videos they have been captured. Here is a list of features for this

• Face picture directory with name for those already identified. "Unidentified" or "Wanted" under those not identified

• of videos associated with each person

• links to associated videos. ideally to the timestamp location of the video
• Gravy: News search for the identified people under each person to get the latest news on them

Its taking forever, but last night I ran face extraction on over 2000 videos, and isolated 760,000 face images. Most images are repeats of the same person in a video, being tracked frame-by-frame.

The next hard part is clustering of those face embedding vectors, to single out distinct identities.

Overall Im only partially confident this will work. Face recognition works best with large high-res images. In this case, we have many videos with a "sea of faces", all of which are low resolution. Too many are simply too blurry to properly perform recognition on.

Fingers crossed.
