Update or Remove Faces and Databases

To update or remove a face use the following actions:

  • To complete training for all faces that exist in the Media Server database but have incomplete training, use the action BuildAllFaces. To confirm that training was successful, use the action ListFaces (see List the Faces in a Database).
  • To add additional training images to a face, use the action AddFaceImages. Media Server does not use the new images for face recognition until you run training using the action BuildFace or BuildAllFaces. To confirm that training was successful, use the action ListFaces (see List the Faces in a Database).
  • To remove a training image from a face, for example if Media Server cannot detect a face in the image, use the action RemoveFaceImages.
  • To change the label of an image that you added to a face, use the action RelabelFaceImage.
  • To move an image of a face from one face to another, for example if you add an image to the wrong face, use the action MoveFaceImage.
  • To add, remove, or update custom metadata for a face, use the actions AddFaceMetadata, RemoveFaceMetadata, and UpdateFaceMetadata.
  • To change the identifier of a face you added to a face database, use the action RenameFace.
  • To move a face to a different database, use the action MoveFace.
  • To remove a face from a database and discard all associated images and metadata, use the action RemoveFace.

To update or remove face databases, use the following actions:

  • To rename a face database, use the action RenameFaceDatabase.
  • To delete a face database and all of the information that it contains, use the action RemoveFaceDatabase.

For more information about the actions that you can use to train Media Server, refer to the Media Server Reference.
