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 person in the Last name, Name, Patronymic, Department and Comment fields (1).

    If the HUAWEI Recognition Module is activated, then in the Department drop-down list the box the HUAWEI repository should be selected, and the pre-configured Intellect departments will be disabled.


    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).

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

    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:

    • Load an image — to add only the current image;
    • Load all images — 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.

If you automatically add face images from the folder, it is necessary that every image contains only one face. If there are several faces on the image, it will not be processed, and an error message will be displayed.

When adding images from a folder, it is possible to automatically move unprocessed images (face was not recognized, bad image quality, etc.) to a specific folder. For this specify the folder path in the config file.

All images added to the reference face database are also listed on the Faces found in DB tab.

The similarity level of the added image with the one existing in the reference face database is specified in the Similarity level column. If the value of similarity level for image is more than the Minimum similarity for identification parameter value, then the percentage of similarity and the name of the corresponding person from the database will be displayed next to the image.
