Adding images 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:

   • The reference face database editing is not enabled (see Setting permissions for reference face database editing and departments creation).
   • The recognition module is not activated (see Activation of the recognition modules in Face Intellect).
   • There is no connection to the Face recognition server.

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

   Note

   If the HUAWEI Recognition Module is used, the fields for specifying the data about the face differ from those presented above (for details, see Specific features of adding images to the reference face database using the HUAWEI recognition module).

   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 text, % will be ignored when adding a person.%file format%
   • %last name%,%name%,%patronymic%,%department%,%any text, % will be ignored when adding a person.%file format%
   • %last name% %name% %patronymic% %department% %any text, % will be ignored when adding a person.%file format%
   • %last name%_%name%_%patronymic%_%department%_%any text, % will be ignored when adding a person.%file format%

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

3. To create the user in the Intellect database, check the corresponding box (2).

   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 a user in the Intellect 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 HideCheckBoxIntellectPerson 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.

All images added to the reference face database are also listed on the Faces found in DB tab, which contains the following information:
