[Feature] Improved face interactions in photos

[skidunion]

The feature

1. Highlight faces of people by hovering on them

   When hovering over a person in the "People" section of a photo, highlight their face on the picture, for example, with a rectangle.

2. Display people's names when hovering over them on the picture

   Show a tooltip with the person's name when hovering over them. Clicking the tooltip can open all the photos with them.

+1, also just thought of this. May have some usability and performance hits for large crowd photos, so maybe worth checking out how Google Photos handles this. Would a PR for this be accepted?

Definitely needed. I’ve got a bunch of photos that are being tagged as one person, when there isn’t the same person in a bunch of the photos. So it would be good to see who is actually being tagged as the wrong person. Mostly group photos etc

I agree this would be a fantastic feature. Taking it one step further, clicking on the highlight should allow changing the person identified.

The same feature should be available for tags!

@alextran1502 Does the current facial recognition model already provide information about the position of faces?

[alextran1502]

Yes, it is already in the database

@alextran1502 trying now to implement it , can you shed some light or reference about the position and the x1 x2 y1 y2 in the database on which units are they ?

Point 1 is implemented if I understood well.
Point 2 would be the still missing part.
