## Overview

This AI-powered tool enables you to build a labeled face gallery from uploaded images and use it to recognize individuals in a target photo. Simply provide reference faces with names, then test against new images for accurate identification.

## Inputs

- **Gallery Images (1-50)** (file): Upload gallery faces
- **Gallery Labels (comma-separated)** (text): Alice,Bob,Carol
- **Target Image** (file): Upload target image to recognize
- **Match Threshold** (number): 0.6
- **Minimum Confidence (0-1)** (number): 0.5

## When to use

- When you need to automatically identify known people in photo collections or batches.
- To set up a face verification system for security, access control, or attendance tracking.
- For organizing digital assets by tagging faces with labels based on a pre-defined gallery.

## How it works

- Upload one or more face images to form the gallery, and optionally add comma-separated labels like names.
- Upload a single target image containing faces to be recognized against the gallery.
- Adjust the match threshold and minimum confidence settings to control recognition sensitivity.
- The tool processes the images and returns JSON results with recognized faces, their labels, and confidence scores.

## Use cases

- Automated tagging of faces in photo libraries for digital asset management.
- Identity verification in security systems or event check-ins.
- Organizing personal or professional photo collections by identifying individuals.

## Frequently asked questions

### What image formats are supported for upload?

Common image formats such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF are accepted.

### How many images can I include in the gallery?

You can upload up to 50 images for the gallery.

### What does the match threshold setting do?

It controls the strictness of face matching; lower values are more lenient, while higher values require closer matches.

### Can the tool recognize multiple faces in one target image?

Yes, it can detect and recognize multiple faces within a single target image.

### Is this tool suitable for real-time face recognition?

No, it is designed for batch processing of uploaded images, not real-time video streams.
