GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 607947
Face detection / recognition
Last modified: 2015-12-18 18:20:03 UTC
There are some face detection and recognition libraries out there that could be used, one well-known is the Intel's OpenCV lib [1]. libFace [2] is another one that specializes in face rec/det and uses intel's lib internally. Gnome's F-Spot has a similar bug request [3]. Also, the same for KDE's Digikam [4] Maybe this should be a meta-project so all photo managers (f-spot, gthumb, shotwell...) can use the same implementation? I've filled a meta bug in launchapd about this: [5] [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary [2] http://libface.sourceforge.net/ [3] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324391 [4] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146288 [5] https://launchpad.net/bugs/507511
Definitely a good idea. It would be a plug-in in gthumb. Patches are welcome, see how-to: http://live.gnome.org/gthumb/extensions Note that gthumb is in a rewrite period through the new 2.11.x serie, so for now developers are concentrating on having the same features as 2.10.x and bug fixes to have a stable release.
Marking as obsolete, as this was reported for an unspecified / now-unsupported version and no recent activity has occurred. Please feel free to reopen this bug report if it describes a bug that still occurs with a current version of gThumb.
