Face Recognition¶
To recognize faces, PhotoPrism first extracts crops from your images using a library based on pixel intensity comparisons. These are then fed into TensorFlow to compute 512-dimensional vectors for characterization. In the final step, the DBSCAN algorithm attempts to cluster these so-called face embeddings, so they can be matched to persons with just a few clicks. A reasonable range for the similarity distance between face embeddings is between 0.60 and 0.70, with a higher value being more aggressive and leading to larger clusters with more false positives. To cluster a smaller number of faces, you can reduce the core to 3 or 2 similar faces.
We recommend that only advanced users change these parameters:

PHOTOPRISM_FACE_SIZE | --face-size | 50 | minimum size of faces in PIXELS (20-10000) |

PHOTOPRISM_FACE_CLUSTER_DIST | --face-cluster-dist | 0.640000 | similarity DISTANCE of faces forming a cluster core (0.1-1.5) |
PHOTOPRISM_FACE_MATCH_DIST | --face-match-dist | 0.460000 | similarity OFFSET for matching faces with existing clusters (0.1-1.5) |

-
If you are using Docker Compose, you can open a terminal, run
docker compose stop
, and then rundocker compose up -d
to restart all services. ↩ -
Enabling public mode is not recommended for instances installed on a server outside your home network, as this allows others to access your pictures without authentication. ↩
