I used Picasa. When I bought a new computer, I began a search for a new photo
management software and after trying many different options I found digikam. I
believe Picasa has the option to export face region data to xmp. If I still
have the old files I will upload a sample. I don't know if the files will be
helpful because the face region data may have been edited by the multiple
different face tagging software I tried.


I have been thinking about face tagging in digikam vs Picasa. Picasa seemed to
pre-group similar faces and then assign that grouping to a face tag.  Picasa
would keep suggesting groups to add to a face tag. It was an efficient way to
build up a new database, but I also wonder if this interface hints at how
Picasa was handling face detection internally. 
  Digikam's documentation acknowledges that a person's face can vary in
appearance for multiple reasons:

"One reason can be that there are too many face tags assigned to a person which
shows this person in a way that doesn’t really help the search algorithm, e.g.
with sunglasses, blurred, unusual colors, carnival make up, dark shaded areas
in the face, baby/kid/adult photographs mixed… Another reason to use that
option can be false face recognition due to a wrong accuracy value in the
Settings tab."

What if digikam assigned multiple groups(clusters) to a single person tag? I'm
assuming that a detected face is assigned a vector.  The Face Accuracy slider
determines how similar two vectors must be for the face to be considered the
same. Initially the definition of a face results in a tight cluster but as more
variations of the same person's face are added the cluster spreads out and may
overlap with other people's face clusters. If a person's face is defined by
multiple tighter clusters instead of a broad single cluster, the definition of
a face wouldn't degrade with increasing number of detected faces assigned to a
person.
