Important!

Images uploaded to the reference face database should meet some requirements (see Requirements for images uploaded to the reference face database).

To add an image to the reference face database, do the following:

  1. Upload an image in the preferred way (see Selecting a way to upload an image to the reference face database) or add the captured face image (see Add captured faces to the reference face database).

    To the right of the image, the  or  icons are displayed.

    The  icon means that the captured face can be added to the DB.

    When the  icon is displayed, the Save button (3) is disabled and the captured face cannot be added to the DB. This may be caused by one of the following reasons:

  2. Specify the required data about the face in the Last name, Name, Patronymic, Department and Comment fields (1).

    Note

    If the image was added to the reference face database using the Load from file or Load from folder way, the data about the person is generated automatically: the values of the Last name, Name, Patronymic and Department fields are taken from the name of the uploaded file. The following characters can be used as a separator: a period, a comma, a space symbol, a low line.

    The format of the file name should be in on of the following formats:

    • last name.name.patronymic.department.any following text will be ignored.image format;
    • last name,name,patronymic,department,any following text will be ignored.image format;
    • last name name patronymic department any following text will be ignored.image format;
    • last name_name_patronymic_department_any following text will be ignored.image format.

    Supported file formats: JPG, JPEG, JPE, JFIF, PNG, GIF and BMP.

    Attention!

    In case the Load from folder method was selected, the Allow creating departments checkbox is not set (see Configuring the permissions and additional settings), and a non-existent department is specified in the file names, then the faces will be added to the currently selected department.

  3. To create the user in the Axxon PSIM database, check the corresponding box (2). The visibility of the Create user in Axxon PSIM database checkbox depends on the settings of the Face recognition and search object — see Configuring the permissions and additional settings.

    Note

    By default, if the checkbox is not set, then the Person_ID = 0 parameter value is assigned to all faces when adding them to the reference face database. This may result in incorrect operation of scripts which use this database field. In order to hide the Create user in Axxon PSIM database checkbox and assign a unique Person_ID to each face when adding it to the reference face database, it is necessary to set the True value for the HideCheckBoxPSIMPerson parameter (see XML-file parameters reference guide). 

  4. Click the Save button (3) to accept the addition of the image to the reference face database.

    Note

    If the image was added to the reference face database using the Load from folder way, then after clicking the Save button, the menu will be displayed. In this menu, select one of the following:

    • Add picture — to add only the current image;
    • Add all pictures — to automatically add all images in the folder.


    If there are several faces on the added image, they are framed with a red frame and the Save button is disabled. To add a person to the reference face database, left-click on one of the framed faces.

    Important!

    If you automatically add face images from the folder, it is necessary that every image contains only one face. If there are 2 or more faces in the image, or the face was not recognized due to the poor image quality, it will be skipped. It is possible to automatically move skipped images to a specific folder. To do this, specify the path to this folder in the face_client.run.config configuration file in the ProblemImages parameter (see XML-file parameters reference guide).
