# AI-Powered Face Recognition & Auto-Sorting System
**Created**: 2025-10-31
**Status**: Planning Phase
**Target Version**: 6.5.0
---
## 📋 Overview
Automatic face recognition and sorting system that processes downloaded images, identifies people, and organizes them into person-specific directories. Unknown faces go to a review queue for manual identification.
---
## 🎯 Goals
### Primary Goals
1. **Automatic face detection** - Identify faces in downloaded images
2. **Face recognition** - Match faces against known people database
3. **Auto-sorting** - Move matched images to person-specific directories
4. **Review queue** - Queue unknown faces for manual identification
5. **Learning system** - Improve recognition from manual reviews
### Secondary Goals
6. **Multi-face support** - Handle images with multiple people
7. **Confidence scoring** - Only auto-sort high confidence matches
8. **Performance** - Process images quickly without blocking downloads
9. **Privacy** - All processing done locally (no cloud APIs)
10. **Immich integration** - Sync sorted images to Immich
---
## 🏗️ Architecture
### High-Level Flow
```
┌─────────────────┐
│ Image Download │
│ Complete │
└────────┬────────┘
┌─────────────────┐
│ Face Detection │ ◄── Uses face_recognition library
│ (Find Faces) │ or DeepFace
└────────┬────────┘
├─── No faces found ──► Skip (keep in original location)
┌─────────────────┐
│ Face Recognition│ ◄── Compare against known faces DB
│ (Identify Who) │
└────────┬────────┘
├─── High confidence match ──► Auto-sort to person directory
├─── Low confidence/Multiple ──► Review Queue
└─── Unknown face ──────────► Review Queue
```
### Database Schema
```sql
-- New table: face_recognition_people
CREATE TABLE face_recognition_people (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
name TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
directory TEXT NOT NULL, -- Target directory for this person
face_encodings BLOB, -- Stored face encodings (multiple per person)
created_at TEXT,
updated_at TEXT,
enabled INTEGER DEFAULT 1
);
-- New table: face_recognition_queue
CREATE TABLE face_recognition_queue (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
download_id INTEGER,
file_path TEXT NOT NULL,
thumbnail_path TEXT,
face_encoding BLOB, -- Encoding of the face found
face_location TEXT, -- JSON: bounding box coordinates
confidence REAL, -- Match confidence if any
suggested_person_id INTEGER, -- Best match suggestion
status TEXT DEFAULT 'pending', -- pending, reviewed, skipped
created_at TEXT,
reviewed_at TEXT,
reviewed_by TEXT,
FOREIGN KEY (download_id) REFERENCES downloads(id),
FOREIGN KEY (suggested_person_id) REFERENCES face_recognition_people(id)
);
-- New table: face_recognition_history
CREATE TABLE face_recognition_history (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
download_id INTEGER,
file_path TEXT NOT NULL,
person_id INTEGER,
confidence REAL,
action TEXT, -- auto_sorted, manually_sorted, skipped
processed_at TEXT,
FOREIGN KEY (download_id) REFERENCES downloads(id),
FOREIGN KEY (person_id) REFERENCES face_recognition_people(id)
);
```

## 🔧 Technical Implementation
### 1. Face Recognition Library Options
#### Option A: face_recognition (Recommended)
**Pros**:
- Built on dlib (very accurate)
- Simple Python API
- Fast face detection and recognition
- Well-documented
- Works offline
**Cons**:
- Requires dlib compilation (can be slow to install)
- Heavy dependencies
**Installation**:
```bash
pip3 install face_recognition
pip3 install pillow
```
**Usage Example**:
```python
import face_recognition
import numpy as np
# Load and encode known face
image = face_recognition.load_image_file("person1.jpg")
encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(image)[0]
# Compare with new image
unknown_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("unknown.jpg")
unknown_encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(unknown_image)
matches = face_recognition.compare_faces([encoding], unknown_encodings[0])
distance = face_recognition.face_distance([encoding], unknown_encodings[0])
```
#### Option B: DeepFace
**Pros**:
- Multiple backend models (VGG-Face, Facenet, OpenFace, DeepID, ArcFace)
- Very high accuracy
- Age, gender, emotion detection
**Cons**:
- Slower than face_recognition
- More complex setup
- Larger dependencies
#### Option C: OpenCV + dlib
**Pros**:
- Already installed (OpenCV used elsewhere)
- Full control
- Fast face detection
**Cons**:
- More manual coding
- Complex face encoding
**Recommendation**: Start with **face_recognition** (Option A) for best balance.

### 3. Integration Points
#### A. Post-Download Hook
Modify existing download completion to trigger face recognition:
```python
# In modules/download_manager.py or relevant module
def on_download_complete(file_path: str, download_id: int):
"""Called when download completes"""
# Existing post-download tasks
update_database(download_id)
send_notification(download_id)
# NEW: Face recognition processing
if config.get('face_recognition', {}).get('enabled', False):
from modules.face_recognition_manager import FaceRecognitionManager
face_mgr = FaceRecognitionManager(db_path, config)
result = face_mgr.process_image(file_path, download_id)
logger.info(f"Face recognition result: {result}")
```
#### B. Configuration
Add to `config.json`:
```json
{
"face_recognition": {
"enabled": false,
"confidence_threshold": 0.6,
"auto_sort_threshold": 0.5,
"base_directory": "/mnt/storage/Downloads/faces",
"process_existing": false,
"async_processing": true,
"batch_size": 10
}
}
```
#### C. Web UI Integration
New pages needed:
1. **Face Recognition Dashboard** - Overview, stats, enable/disable
2. **People Management** - Add/edit/remove people, train faces
3. **Review Queue** - Manually identify unknown faces
4. **History** - View auto-sort history, statistics

## 🔒 Privacy & Security
1. **Local Processing Only** - No cloud APIs, all processing local
2. **Encrypted Storage** - Face encodings stored securely
3. **User Control** - Easy enable/disable, delete data anytime
4. **Access Control** - Face recognition UI requires authentication
5. **Audit Trail** - All auto-sort actions logged with confidence scores
---
## ⚡ Performance Considerations
### Processing Speed
- Face detection: ~0.5-1 sec per image
- Face recognition: ~0.1 sec per comparison
- Total per image: 1-3 seconds
### Optimization Strategies
1. **Async Processing** - Process in background, don't block downloads
2. **Batch Processing** - Process multiple images in parallel
3. **Caching** - Keep known face encodings in memory
4. **Smart Queueing** - Process high-priority images first
5. **CPU vs GPU** - Optional GPU acceleration for faster processing
---
## 📝 Configuration Example
```json
{
"face_recognition": {
"enabled": true,
"confidence_threshold": 0.6,
"auto_sort_threshold": 0.5,
"base_directory": "/mnt/storage/Downloads/faces",
"review_queue_dir": "/mnt/storage/Downloads/faces/review_queue",
"process_existing": false,
"async_processing": true,
"batch_size": 10,
"max_faces_per_image": 5,
"create_thumbnails": true,
"notify_on_queue": true,
"gpu_acceleration": false
}
}
```
---
## 🧪 Testing Plan
### Unit Tests
- Face detection accuracy
- Face matching accuracy
- Database operations
- File operations
### Integration Tests
- End-to-end download → face recognition → sort
- Review queue workflow
- Training new people
### Performance Tests
- Processing speed benchmarks
- Memory usage monitoring
- Concurrent processing
---
## 📈 Success Metrics
- **Accuracy**: >90% correct auto-sort rate
- **Performance**: <3 seconds per image processing
- **Usability**: <5 minutes to add and train new person
- **Review Queue**: <10% of images requiring manual review
- **Stability**: No crashes or errors during processing
---
## 🚀 Getting Started (Once Implemented)
### 1. Enable Face Recognition
```bash
# Install dependencies
pip3 install face_recognition pillow
# Enable in config
# Set "face_recognition.enabled": true
```
### 2. Add Your First Person
```python
# Via Web UI or CLI
# 1. Create person
# 2. Upload 5-10 sample images
# 3. Train face recognition
```
### 3. Process Images

# Automatic: New downloads are processed automatically
# Manual: Process existing downloads
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/face-recognition/process-existing
```
### 4. Review Unknown Faces
