I'm having some issues with the face-recognition in the Samsung Gallery app (11.1.02.1 on S10), let me start of by saying I'm very happy the device does local image-recognition and it works reasonably well. I'm very happy I don't need to upload my photos to some cloud provider to get these kind of features.
I'm missing a few features though;
- it seems pretty much impossible to reset whatever has been recognized (except by deleting the file probably), resetting cache & data for the Gallery app, or the CMHProvider (this seems to be the actual face recognition service) doesn't help.
- why is there no explicit "scan now" button with progress indicator provided? There seems only to be some invisible background job
I'm also seeing these bugs:
- The number of people tagged in the photo is inconsistent with the list of "People" shown below
- I have photos where the same person is tagged multiple times, sometimes with actual tags, sometimes with extra "?" question-marks
- Sometimes completely unrelated photos are grouped, eg a photo a bearded men is grouped with a child and photo of a random woman
A picture says more than a thousand words, so I've attached an example. As you can guess, I did not tag myself and I'm also not in this photo
