Add a way for user to judge: "This is not a person"

[andreaskoelsch]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I have a lot of faces in the unclustered (NULL) area. Sometimes, some of them get readded to existing clusters, or new shit-clusters are created with them. Often, these are just random faces of passersby in the background or even none-faces.

Here are some examples.

It's totally acceptable for me that the face recognition is not perfect, but I would like to be able to fix the errors manually. And once fixed they should stay fixed.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to remove misdetections completely, so I don't have to worry about them being re-clustered.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Adding all NULL faces to an "Unknown" (shit-)cluster. However, this could cause a problem that newly detected faces might get added to this cluster, too.

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with recognize. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation

Thus, if you can, you could also look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,

Mmh, I see your point. A "not a person" category may be in order.

[andreaskoelsch]

Not exactly sure what you mean by category. But thanks for acknowledging the issue.

In my opinion, an ideal solution would be to add something like "remove detection" to this menu.

Because I also would like to be able to remove actual faces of persons who I don't know

I have several situations like this:

• Monuments and busts
• Pictures of persons in background posters
• Action Toys tagged as ppl
• Ppl I really don't know and what to be avoided so far...

Elaborating on @epoxi's last bullet point, there are many photos in my "unrecognized faces" roll in the wonderful "Memories" app which are simply irrelevant: e.g. some guy in the background of the photo I took of my lovely wife as we enjoyed our vacation in Paris. I will never need to tag that person, and would prefer to archive the recognition so that it doesn't show up in "unrecognized faces", which I treat as my "queue of photos to categorize". To be clear, I'm talking about a case where an actual human face was positively detected, however, the user has decided that for whatever reason it's not relevant to categorize that detected face.
