In many DF Studio accounts, all files are automatically processed through People Recognition at the point of upload. In cases where this automation is not enabled, the process can be initiated within a Project, or for an individual asset.
Note that usage fees apply to the People Recognition process, which scale based on the number of assets analyzed and the number of faces found. Please see People Recognition and Billing for more information.
Run People Recognition on a Project
From any Project view, click on the “Recognize” button in the Project Inspector.
If a People Recognition summary appears in the place of the “Recognize” button, all assets in the current Project have already been analyzed by People Recognition.
Click the “Recognize” button to begin processing images. Any assets in a Project that have already been processed will be skipped.
People Recognition will begin immediately, and progress can be tracked by visiting the Activity Monitor, if desired.
Run People Recognition on Specific Assets
To process assets instead of an entire Project, select the asset or assets in any perspective and then click the “Recognize” button from the Asset Inspector.
If an asset has not yet been processed, the “Recognize” button will also appear in the place of the face strip when People View is active. Clicking this button will initiate People Recognition on the current asset, just like the button from the Asset Inspector.
Once the process has begun, its progress will be updated in the Activity Monitor. Any assets that have already been processed will be skipped.
Access to People Recognition
Users who are not account admins will need to have the “Run People Recognition” permission enabled for their user in order to use the feature. This can be configured on the Edit User screen (see Add and Manage Users for more details).
Additionally, the “Write Metadata” permission must be granted on a specific Project (or inherited from its enclosing folder) in order to run People Recognition there. For more information, see Control Access With Permissions Settings.
Run People Recognition Automatically
Admin users can contact DF Studio Support to enable People Recognition for all images, performed automatically when ingesting files from new uploads.
