Monitoring of captured and recognized faces

To go to the monitoring mode of captured and recognized faces, click the Monitor button (1) in the Face recognition and search interface window.

The following information is displayed in the information field of each captured face (2):

Column name	Description	Face Recognition module used
Captured face	Captured face image Note 1. As you increase the width and height of this column, the image size also increases. The specified column size does not change even if the Columns auto width checkbox is set (see Configuring the permissions and additional settings). Note 2. The captured face image is not duplicated in the list of captured faces, but it is updated in the same cell while the tracker sees it. To change the mechanism of displaying faces, it is necessary to change the value of the Face.RecognizeFacesSeparately parameter to 1 (for details, see Registry keys reference guide). Note 3. If the Face recognition server works with a thermal camera (see Configuring operation of the Face recognition server with thermal camera), the image will also display the face temperature in degrees Celsius.	All recognition modules
Original from DB	The image from the reference face DB, if the face was recognized	All recognition modules
Full name	Full name, if the face was recognized	All recognition modules
Name of face characteristic	Selected additional face characteristics (see Configuring the additional face characteristics).	Only VA, VideoIntellect 1.1 and VisionLabs
Camera	The camera which is a captured face source	All recognition modules
Date/Time	The date and time of the face capture by the camera	All recognition modules

The color of the information field of the recognized face may indicate the following:

the level of similarity of captured face with the most corresponding face from the face recognition database. The conditional thresholds of similarity levels are set when configuring the Face recognition and search interface module (see Configuring the color highlighting by face similarity);
the face belongs to a department for which an arbitrary color is set (see Setting color highlighting of faces that belong to selected departments).

If the Follow new faces checkbox is set, the list of faces is scrolled up to the top when a new face is captured even if some face is selected in it. To disable automatic list scrolling, clear the Follow new faces checkbox. You can also double-click the captured face to clear this checkbox. In this case, the list is not scrolled up when new faces are captured.

Note

In order for the Follow new faces checkbox to be set automatically after a certain time, it is necessary to set the corresponding time in seconds in the AutoFollowTimeSeconds parameter of the face_client.run.config configuration file (for details, see XML-file parameters reference guide).

If the captured face was recognized, then in the upper right part of the captured faces monitoring panel (3), an alarm window is displayed with the following information:

the title of the alarm window;
Note
The alarm window color and title can be changed (see Alarm window title setting).
full name of a recognized person;
the image with the captured face and the corresponding image from the face recognition database;
Note
If the Face recognition server works with a thermal camera (see Configuring operation of the Face recognition server with thermal camera), the image will also display the face temperature in degrees Celsius.
the similarity level as a percentage.

The lower right part of the captured faces monitoring panel (4) displays the following information:

the Face DB section displays the information on the recognized face and contains the following information:

Column name	Description
Image	The recognized face image Note. As you increase the width and height of this column, the image size also increases. The specified column size does not change even if the Columns auto width checkbox is set (see Configuring the permissions and additional settings)
Full name	The full name of a recognized person
Similarity level	The similarity level between the recognized face and the face image
Comment	The comment
Date/Time	The date and time of the search

the Cameras section displays the 10 recently captured faces that are similar to the selected face filtered by the specified filtering conditions (see Filtering the recognized and unrecognized faces). The field contains the following information:

Column name	Description
Image	The captured face image Note 1. If the Face recognition server works with a thermal camera (see Configuring operation of the Face recognition server with thermal camera), the image will also display the face temperature in degrees Celsius.
Similarity level	The similarity level between the captured face and the selected face
Camera	The camera that captured the face
Date/Time	The date and time of the search

The View button (5) allows you to change the location of information panels 1-3 on the monitoring screen according to the preset.

Note

You can hide the View button. To do this, in the face_client.run.config configuration file, set the value of the HideViewButton parameter to True (for details, see XML-file parameters reference guide).

If the video from camera (used for face recognition) is transmitted to the Monitor interface object, then the full name is displayed below the face capture area (see Configuring video display on Video Surveillance Monitor).

Note

If the Face recognition server works in conjunction with a thermal camera, also see Thermal camera operation.
