AI Face Recognition: Identifying public figures across media
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.

facial identification
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.
