In addition, the tool found just three sufficiently accurate face clusters for Hans in the library’s photos.

You can see the results below.įace Recognition Proposals set at 95%: You’ll notice in the screenshot below that only two named “face clusters” (see below to learn about these) have been proposed: Hans and Roberta. I used the app’s Sample Library to do Batch Tagging (tagging several proposed faces at once) and experimented with accuracy settings. How changing accuracy settings affect results It just gives you fewer face-match proposals with greater precision. Increasing the accuracy doesn’t change your photos’ data. If Mylio Photos is proposing too many pictures of Cousin Rachel as a possible match for Aunt Lois, you can adjust the Face Recognition Proposals slider to increase the accuracy as needed. This means a face of Aunt Lois must look approximately 80% like already tagged faces of Aunt Lois for the tool to propose it as a match. We recommend most users leave the setting at its default. This favors accuracy over the number of suggested faces that may be a match. Through our engineering and testing experience, we have found that the app does the best job of face recognition when set to about 80%.

Face Recognition Proposalsįace Recognition Proposals lets you adjust the slider for More Proposals or More Accuracy, at opposite ends of the scale. If you’re trying to preserve battery life (e.g., on a laptop running on battery only), selecting the setting to Restrict Face Detection on Battery will help reduce the app’s total electricity consumption whenever your device is not plugged in to a power source. The face detection feature uses processing power and processing power requires electricity. That said, we recommend you leave the app running on all your devices as often as possible, so it can detect more faces faster with the highest fidelity. You may choose to turn the tool off on a device where you don’t want to waste processing power running face detection. This setting is device specific, so your other Mylio Photos-connected devices will still detect faces and allow those tags and organization to be seen on every device. If you don’t want face detection running on a device, simply turn it off. Mylio Photos’ Face Recognition is ON by default. Select Settings, then Advanced to see the Advanced Settings menu, shown below. In the Mylio Photos app, click or tap on the More menu (three horizontal dots at the top-right of the app). Here’s a guide to help you experiment with and customize Face Recognition’s advanced settings: Plus, the app automatically rescans any lower-quality face-recognition results whenever higher-quality machines like computers are connected and running. The tool runs well on mobile devices, too. Before we start, it’s helpful to know that Mylio Photos’ face recognition works faster and more accurately on computers. With Mylio Photos, you can optimize the way face detection works in your library. Understanding how (and why) you may want to customize face detection’s advanced settings

If you want to know more about the technology behind the face recognition tool, read this article. My family has a strict policy on sharing photos of us online, so I appreciate having photo solutions available that honor privacy. One of Mylio Photos’ most popular features is its ability to detect, identify, and suggest tags for faces (with complete privacy) on your own computer and other linked devices. In this post, you will learn how to customize face recognition in Mylio Photos - and why you might want to do that.
