Face clustering
Also called: people albums, face grouping
Face clustering automatically groups every detected face in an event into one set per person, without anyone labelling them first.
After faces are turned into embeddings, clustering looks at which embeddings sit close together and treats each tight group as one person. The result is a set of "people albums" the organiser can name.
Good clustering has to handle a person appearing in very different lighting, angles, and expressions across a day, while keeping two similar-looking guests apart.
In Pixeva this powers Smart Albums, and it lets a guest jump straight to their named album instead of running a selfie search.
