Add a way for user to judge: "This is not a person"

[andreaskoelsch]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I have a lot of faces in the unclustered (NULL) area. Sometimes, some of them get readded to existing clusters, or new shit-clusters are created with them. Often, these are just random faces of passersby in the background or even none-faces.

Here are some examples.

It's totally acceptable for me that the face recognition is not perfect, but I would like to be able to fix the errors manually. And once fixed they should stay fixed.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to remove misdetections completely, so I don't have to worry about them being re-clustered.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Adding all NULL faces to an "Unknown" (shit-)cluster. However, this could cause a problem that newly detected faces might get added to this cluster, too.

Hello :wave:

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with recognize. I know it's frustrating when software causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at and if possible solved. I try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it. Until then, please be patient. Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can collaborate to make this software better. For everyone. Thus, if you can, you could also look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands! One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum, to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself. (Also see our Code of Conduct. Really.)

I look forward to working with you on this issue Cheers :blue_heart:

Mmh, I see your point. A "not a person" category may be in order.

[andreaskoelsch]

Not exactly sure what you mean by category. But thanks for acknowledging the issue.

In my opinion, an ideal solution would be to add something like "remove detection" to this menu.

Because I also would like to be able to remove actual faces of persons who I don't know

I have several situations like this:

• Monuments and busts
• Pictures of persons in background posters
• Action Toys tagged as ppl
• Ppl I really don't know and what to be avoided so far...
