1. Re: Problems with Face Recognition
johnrellis May 27, 2010 2:30 PM (in response to bgelfand)An Adobe employee posting on one of the forums has acknowledge that there is a bug in the face recognition that causes recognition to stop working after too many instances of a person are identified. The only workaround I know of is to introduce a new tag (e.g. "Jane Doe 2") and start recognition all over for that person. See this FAQ for details and drawbacks of the workaround:

rganong Jun 2, 2010 11:43 AM (in response to bgelfand)Another alternative is to try a free program for Win and Mac called Fotobounce. Fotobounce does face detection and recognition, photo organizing, interfacing to Facebook, and the next release will do peer to peer sharing of your photos to avoid using a public website or email to transfer full resolution photos between friends and family.

Barbara B. Jun 1, 2010 12:50 PM (in response to johnrellis)there is a bug in the face recognition that causes recognition to stop working after too many instances of a person are identified.
Unfortunately, I think this may be a bug in the technology itself rather than just in Adobe's implementation of it, since the same thing happens in iphoto, too.

4. Re: Problems with Face Recognition
johnrellis Jun 1, 2010 4:19 PM (in response to Barbara B.)I believe the issue is in the way the technology is applied. As more and more diverse instances of a face get identified as person X, the attributes of those faces get added into the entire pile of statistical attributes for X, diluting or averaging out those attributes that distinguish X from other faces. This is a not uncommon problem with machine-learning algorithms. One way to fix it is to ask the user to identify a "training set" of typical instances of a face, which then becomes fixed in size and is used to recognize the rest of the instances (this would make the user interface a little more complicatd). Another way is to use learning algorithms that are less susceptible to such dilution.

7. Re: Problems with Face Recognition
Andrea417 Oct 26, 2014 5:15 AM (in response to rganong)You said the next release of Fotobounce will allow peer to peer sharing. Does this mean software to software? I love the organizer features of Adobe, but hate the facial recognition. I would dearly love to utilize another software for the facial recognition and then import them in to Adobe. The problem I have found is although you have the people tags in one photo, the next software completely ignores them. I've also noticed there is no metadata field to store the location (x,y) of where the person is tagged within the photo.
Any suggestions of alternate facial recognition would be MUCH appreciated!
Thank you,
