*Hi devs,* * * *This is a sample documentation which describes how to use Face Recognition functionality.* * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Photark Gallery provides a link to visit Face Applications. There, you are provided two main apps as options. - Facebook Friend Finder - Generic Face Recognition Both these apps are trying to recognize your friends in your PhotArk albums. Facebook Friend Finder finds your friends while Generic Face Recognition app finds friends who are trained in your private name space (which is frie...@photark.com ) The recognition facility is provided during the album navigation in the gallery. So before trying to recognize any of your friends from either your private namespace domain or from Facebook, you need to tell these apps how your friends looks like. For that simply, you can train the system by the images of your friends and their corresponding names(user names). Lets see how to train PhotArk Face App Indexes. *- Generic Face Recognition* Here, this is related to the friends in your private name space. This can be done this by providing an image of your friend as a URL or a local image path with a suitable username and a label for the ease of identification. The more you train your friend, the accuracy will be increased. i.e Fill the following fields as Copy Image File Path - /home/subash/pictures/adam.jpeg Train Username - a...@photark.com User Label(optional) - Adam Gilly And hit the train button. This will update the photark face index with your friend. You can train Adam with couple of more of his pictures under his username "a...@photark.com". * - Facebook Friend Finder* In this case you don't need to provide images of your friends like in the previous app. Because in Facebook, your friends are already tagged in your albums. So this app goes through all your friends tagged images and train them with their Facebook usernames. You only need to give the userId of your friend and system will train your friend. This app doesn't train all your friends at startup due to the startup overhead and also you might not want to train all your Facebook friends for photark. - First click Authenticate Facebook button to provide access of your Facebook profile to this app. - Then provide the user ids of your facebook friends and train them. i.e fill the field Train user name - 1271543...@facebook.com ( or any legal format of your friends username) And hit the Train button to train. Simple as that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Subash Chaturanga Department of Computer Science & Engineering University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka Blog - http://subashsdm.blogspot.com/ Twitter - http://twitter.com/subash89
