What is Profile Search?
Profile Search is a feature that allows users to create a profile containing one or more face images of a person. These images can be uploaded by a user from a computer or saved from a Deep Search result. Once the profile is created, users can search for that person in recorded videos either immediately or at a later time.
Key Features of VORTEX AI
One of the main advantages of VORTEX AI is its edge-based video analytics, as opposed to relying solely on cloud servers. The system detects faces and extracts facial features on-board. This metadata is then saved in the cloud for subsequent searches.
How to Create a Profile
Open the VORTEX User Portal and click on the 'Profile Search' option in the left-hand menu.
Once you're on the Profile Search page, you can create a new profile by clicking the 'Create New Profile' button.
After clicking 'Create New Profile,' a tip will appear reminding you to upload a photo.
Choose a face image to upload and then fill in the Name, Note, and Tag information for the new profile.
Note: If the uploaded image should be added to an existing profile, click 'Save to Existing Profile' instead.
Click the 'Create' button to finalize the profile. You should be able to see the new image listed in the profile search lists.
Another way to create a profile is to save a face image from Deep Search results by clicking on the "..." icon and selecting "Add to profile".
How to Search
After creating a profile, users can search for a person using the face images stored in that profile in the recorded videos
Records
If you go to Profile Search > Profile detail and click on the "Records" tab, you will be able to perform a search based on specified conditions such as which cameras to use and what time period to search.
It is similar to the Re-Search function (search by an image) in Deep Search, while in Profile Search, multiple face images in a profile can be used together for the search, and the face image can be a photo uploaded by a user from a computer.
Photo
When users click the ‘Photo’ tab within a profile, the best facial shots of a person’s face within a month are searched and displayed.
When clicking on the ‘…’ icon under any of the photos displayed, you will see two options: ‘Save to reference phots’ and ‘Not this person‘.
Save to reference photos: Use the 'Save to reference photos' option when you see a photo that accurately represents the person in the profile. By doing so, this image will be added to a set of reference photos within that profile. You can save up to 6 different reference photos in a single profile to improve the accuracy of future searches.
Not this person: If you notice that one of the 'best shots' does not actually match the person in the profile, you can select the option 'Not This Person'. When you do this, the system recognizes the mistake and initiates a new search, using your feedback to refine its search algorithms.
By managing your reference photos and providing corrective feedback, you contribute to the system's learning and help improve the accuracy of future searches.
