Picasa Picasa is a free photo manager that is also one of the best free face recognition software out there. It asks you to tag all the photos of same person, and then when you add another photo of that person, it will identify the person in the photo and will automatically tag it. Face recognition technology is being used by thousands of photo software for different purposes. Face recognition helps in detecting faces in a group photo, matching two faces, finding similar faces, providing face attributes and of course, recognizing a face. The facial recognition search.
Mylio’s face recognition helps keep your photos organized by creating custom albums in the People view of your friends and family. Tagging your photos is easy, as Mylio will match untagged faces with previously identified people – all you have to do is confirm for accuracy. Like all face recognition, telling Mylio who is in your photos increases the accuracy of this feature over time.
Mylio’s face recognition can be used in three primary ways…
In some cases, Mylio may not appropriately find all faces in a photo. This is especially true if a photo is at an angle, has insufficient (or too much lighting), or a face is partially obscured. In these cases, you can manually tell Mylio where a face is on a photo.
Mylio will scan photos automatically and group them within People view. This allows you to quickly identify if a person is, or is not, who Mylio believes they are.
If Mylio knows who someone is, they will have an album created for them in People view. Once Mylio knows the name and face of a person, it will scan each photo to see if it has a match as you browse through your images. If Mylio finds a match, the person’s album in People view will ask you to confirm if the photo is, or is not, that person. Albums that have photos that need to be identified will have an “identification needed” icon in the top left of the album.
When a Person’s album with the identification needed icon is opened, any photo that is not yet confirmed will display three options at the bottom of the image: confirm, change, and deny. These icons let you confirm that the person in that individual photo is correct, change the image to a different person, or tell Mylio that this image is not this person. Confirming a person will remove the icons and let Mylio use the image to better identify more images of that person.
Mylio allows you to easily tag the faces in any container in bulk. This can be done from folder view, album view, or calendar view. Here is how:
Mylio will group your photos and begin to ask who each person is. You can use the bar at the top of Mylio to make a decision for all collected photos, or you can decide on each photo individually using the confirm, change, or deny buttons on the person’s image.
In some cases, you may have photos with many faces that all need ignored. This is common in pictures of crowds like concerts, races, or other public events. Mylio makes it easy to tag who you know and ignore all other faces.
