Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many faces can be stored in the database?

A: The system can handle millions of faces, but performance optimal with 10,000-100,000 faces per instance.

Q: What affects recognition accuracy?

A: Key factors include image quality, face angle, lighting, and database quality. See Optimization.

Q: How often should the database be updated?

A: Regular updates recommended, especially for frequently seen faces. Monthly review of rarely seen faces.
