Managing "Anonymous Faces" in Recognition

Anonymous is classified by HIVO based on the following characteristics:

✨ Grouping by Characteristics: If someone’s face has been detected on an Asset but not labeled yet, they’ll be grouped with any other instances of the same detected characteristics.

✨ Automatic Tagging for Recognized Faces: If an Asset is uploaded and a face within it has already been tagged, then that upload will be automatically tagged with the given person.

✨ Minimum Appearance Threshold: To avoid cluttering results with faces from crowds, HIVO requires a face to appear at least 3 times across different assets before creating an "anonymous user."

Action on Anonymous Faces

👉 Click on an anonymous person to see the Assets they’ve appeared in and edit their details.

👉 The 3 dots icon will open the actions that you can take on the person:

• Edit Details: Name the detected face & optionally add a description or assign them to a User in your Client. Naming a face will label all Assets with the detected face at once.

• Is This Someone Else?: Reassign all instances of this face to an existing person.

• Delete Face: Delete the face from Recognition, including from the anonymous person list. This can be useful for faces that were incorrectly detected, or if they're not important (e.g. a spectator that’s appeared in multiple photos).

Note: You can apply this method to edit assigned names.
