I understand this article is about face detection, but on a tangential note, face identification against known faces in the Photos app has been laughable for me on iOS 10 (haven’t checked if this has improved in iOS 11, since I don’t have many new photos with new faces). Even with some manual training, the face identification and name matching seemed quite primitive, getting most of its guesses wrong (for example, matching kids’ faces against adults’ faces).
That said, I do strongly admire and appreciate Apple’s stance on privacy and the software doing these kinds of work on the device and not on the cloud. I can wait for these things to improve.
- nkristoffersen 9y agoFor me the faces function in ios photos has been pretty amazing. Accurately detecting blurry background faces is surprising. I just checked it and it picked out a picture of me where just my nose and part of a cheek is showing! (aviator sunglasses and scarf covering my face).
