Facial Recognition

• The camper is the only person in the photo.
• The photo is taken with the camper looking straight at the camera (as opposed to looking at an angle).
• The background is a solid color that contrasts with the camper's face.
• Lighting should be consistent across the camper's face (i.e. minimal shadows).
• If the camper normally wears glasses, braces, etc., they should be worn in the reference photo.
• Important: The photo should be taken as close (time-wise) to camp as possible, to ensure the camper's appearance in the reference photo is similar to their appearance at camp.

In order for a camper to be recognized by the facial recognition system, CampSite uses the camper's profile photo as a "reference photo." 

Note that a new profile photo must be uploaded after the Facial Recognition module has been added to your database in order to be used as a reference photo. Profile photos that were uploaded before your camp added Facial Recognition are not automatically used as a reference photo.

Also, reference photos expire each year, so a new profile photo must be re-uploaded yearly for facial recognition purposes.

To manually upload a new profile photo/reference photo for a camper, click on the current profile image/thumbnail and select an image to upload. 

Once finished, refresh their profile page and the 'Ready for facial recognition?' field will say Yes and link to the camper's reference photo.

Under the enrollment year there is a new Camp Today Media tab which houses any facial recognition matches for a camper. Admin users are able to view the created date, which blog the photo is associated with, which post it came from, and actually view the image through a SmugMug link. The option to delete an image from a camper's profile is also available.  

On the next page, you'll be presented with every photo from the photo post and the facial recognition matches for each photo.

 Note that CampSite can only identify campers if:

• They're enrolled in any of the sessions tied to the blog this post belongs to
• And, they have a reference photo uploaded
• Note that campers must re-upload a new reference photo every year.

If the post contains photos of campers who are not enrolled in the sessions tied to this blog, the facial recognition software will not identify those campers. To edit the sessions tied to a blog, return to the blog and manage the blog settings.

For each facial recognition match, view the camper's name (click to visit their profile); a copy of their reference photo; and the facial recognition software's confidence in this match.

If the facial recognition software did not recognize a camper, you can manually add a match to the photo by clicking "+ Add facial recognition match..." and selecting the camper from the dropdown menu.

Double click the red delete button on the far right to delete a match, in the case that the facial recognition got it wrong (cases may include, but are not limited to twins, or siblings with very similar features).

In Advanced Reports, users have the option to see what campers profiles are ready for facial recognition. Note that only campers who are part of a blog (i.e., enrolled in that blog's sessions) will actually be matched for facial recognition for that blog.

The Photo Coverage Report lets you report on facial recognition matches by division, bunk or camper.
