<p dir="auto">I'd like some desktop (Windoze, for me) software that will do the following:</p>
<ol start="0">
<li>
<p dir="auto">run locally / no Internet uploads or downloads, until and unless I have my own reason to ask for it</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">based on a selected pic, pull up all other pics in the collection having the same face</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">scan entire collection for possible groupings-by-face, and show me the groupings in some sort order (say, descending by number of pics per group)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">(ideal / just gravy) search the Internet for a name to the face, or at least click out to standard Google image search</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">I tried ImageRanger, which tries to do requirements 0 and 1. Unfortunately, ImageRanger's face matching is not accurate. It gives too many false negatives (obvious matches that it fails to see) as well as false positives (non-matches that it will put forward), even after you spend hours training it with your known faces.</p>
<p dir="auto">I googled for facial recognition software, and found nothing for the isolated desktop user. At this point, face recognition is mostly done in hosted APIs / services.</p>
<p dir="auto">Except that I am surely <em>not</em> the first person to have this problem?  Does anyone know a solution?</p>
