Is finding person­al­ities in your media data taking a lot of time and causing unnec­essary costs? Our Face Recog­nition technology helps you quickly detect and identify people in different categories.

What does the Face Recog­nition do?

The Face Recog­nition module automat­i­cally detects and identifies human faces in images and videos. The system uses a pre-trained AI model that can recognize more than 20,000 well-known people. These include public figures from politics, sports, business, and enter­tainment. It makes it easy to organize large media archives, find relevant content, and use media data for your specific needs.

For faces without labels, the system provides smart indexing and clustering. It gives each unknown face a unique ID and groups similar faces together. This makes it easy to track people across media files and add names later.

In addition to detecting celebrities, you can train the AI model further. With our Deep Model Customizer, you can easily teach the system to recognize specific people important to you, like employees, VIP guests, or local person­al­ities.

The benefits of choosing us

Over 20,000 pre-trained person­al­ities

DeepVA’s pre-trained models recognize faces from politics, sports, business and enter­tainment. This helps you analyze content, organize archives, and improve workflows.

Adapt the AI to your needs

With the Deep Model Customizer, you can train individual face recog­nition models – perfect for company-specific require­ments or regional charac­ter­istics.

Efficient Face Indexing & Clustering

Unknown faces are automat­i­cally grouped or assigned unique IDs. This means you can track people across different content — even if the system hasn’t been trained on them before.

Face Recog­nition module is part of our Deep Media Analyzer appli­cation. Check it out now:

frequently asked questions

Have a question? We’ve got answers

Which faces does DeepVA recognize by default?

The pre-trained model includes over 20,000 person­al­ities from various fields, including many German politi­cians and athletes. 

Can I train my own faces for recog­nition?

Yes, with the Deep Model Customizer, you can create your own models tailored to specific require­ments. 

How does face indexing work?

Unknown faces can be automat­i­cally assigned unique IDs so that they can be tracked across different content and named later – without additional training. 

Is your service GDPR compliant?

Yes, DeepVA is fully GDPR compliant. We take data protection and privacy seriously and ensure that all personal data is processed in accor­dance with GDPR regula­tions.

How is my data handled? Does the AI learn from my data?

You have full control over your data on our AI platform, ensuring it remains secure and compliant. By default, we do not use your data to train our models, keeping it propri­etary. However, you have the option to train models using your data, and in that case, it will remain exclusive to your organi­zation.

What type of data do you store?

By default, we do not process your data beyond what is required to provide our services. If additional processing is necessary, it will only occur as outlined in your instruc­tions or where legally required.
