Image Sets

Image Sets are collections of images that can be used for face recognition. You can create an image set for a group of people, such as staff members, or one for each individual.

Requirements

Images

  • Only JPEG images are currently supported.
  • (for Find Faces) Each image should contain exactly one person, facing the camera.

Create an Image Set

  1. Create a folder on your computer (e.g. "Staff").

  2. Inside the first folder, create a subfolder for each person (for example: Staff/Employee1). The subfolder name should match the person's name or a term by they are otherwise indetifieable. You can create multiple subfolders within the main folder, one for each individual.

File structure example 
Staff/
├── Employee1/
│   ├── 1.jpg
│   ├── 2.jpg
│   └── ...
├── Employee2/
│   ├── 1.jpg
│   ├── 2.jpg
│   └── ...
└── ...
  1. Put image(s) into the entity's subfolder: Staff/Employee1 Staff/Employee1/1.jpg

Take care that your images meet the requirements.

  1. In the web interface, navigate to Assets.

  1. Click on the Add button and select Image set.

  1. Type a name for your image set (e.g. "Staff") and select the folder you created earlier.

  2. Click Save. The image set will be created, and you can see the images in the Assets tab.

Edit an Image Set

  1. Click the image set you would like to edit.

  2. To add images to an entity, click on the menu on its row select Add images to Entity. Upload the folder containing the images you would like to add.

Note that all images in the folder will be added to the entity. Make sure that the folder contains only images for that entity.

  1. To remove an entity, click on the menu on its row click Delete.

  2. To delete the image set, navigate back to the list of image sets, tick the checkbox of the one you would like to remove "Delete Image Set".

Note

Note that currently, an image set can be deleted, even if it is referenced by a live query. The live query itself, including existing results, will remain intact, but no new results will be generated.

Using an Image Set in a Query

Image sets can be used in the Find Faces query type to filter for faces in videos. See the Find Faces query's documentation for more details on how to set it up.
