Description

  • face_recognition version:1.2.3
  • Python version:3.6
  • Operating System: Ubuntu

I'm trying to lower the threshold of face_recognition.compare_faces because it marks almost everybody
the same person

face_recognition.compare_faces(known_face_encodings, face_encoding)

Research direction

Start with the face_recognition.compare_faces entry point and reproduce the reported matching behavior using face_recognition 1.2.3 on Python 3.6 and Ubuntu. Trace how the threshold is applied and establish a test case showing the incorrect match; done means the requested threshold behavior is corrected or clearly documented.
