Face recognition - blurry back ground

[ERBRO]

Hello,

is there a way to avoid that the Face recognition identifies people in the background with a totally blurry face ? 

This occurs often with portrait at low aperture on main subject.

At this stage, I manually delete these.

Best regards

No. If the IMatch AI detects a face, it will add a face annotation. So, probably the faces in the background need to be even more blurry to prevent detection.

Maybe run face detection on-device, since modern phones have a depth sensor and you may be able to tell your phone to not consider faces more than x meters away from the camera?

HEllo Mario,

I was afraid of your answer but wanted to ask just in case of an option or parameter woud exist. 

Best regards

One way to deal with this would probably be a feature that allows users to configure a "region of interest" for face recognition, e.g. specifying the 50% area from the center of the image. Or something that looks at sensor focus data (different for every camera model) and makes decisions based on that...

Feel free to add a feature request so other users can chime in, let us know if they have the same problem etc. If this is something that affects many users, I can think about improvements.
