A small kit, drawn for one job: finding people in photos.
What Ansikt can do with the sources you connect. Plainly stated, with the limits kept on the page.
From images to people you can review.
Four recognition capabilities. Kept separate, so the review work stays understandable.
Detect faces and mark what needs review.
A box for each detected face, with a confidence label. Small, blurred or partly hidden faces are more likely to need review.
- Face box per detection
- Confidence label per detection
- Limits kept visible
Known people, linked across photos.
For people you are allowed to process, Ansikt links appearances across connected sources. Originals stay in your systems; Ansikt uses a transient copy for analysis.
- One record per known person
- Appearance links across sources
- Originals stay at source
Uncertain matches stay visible.
Ansikt links high-confidence appearances and queues uncertain matches for confirmation. Your corrections improve matching inside your own workspace.
- High, Likely and Review labels
- Uncertain matches queue for confirmation
- Corrections improve workspace accuracy
Find where a known person appears.
Search with a reference photo or pick an existing person record. Results show source URL, path, crawl date and confidence label.
- Reference photo or person record
- Source and crawl date
- JSON or PDF export
Four surfaces that sit on top of recognition.
Track consent for people and images.
Connect a person, an image and a Purpose. More specific decisions can override broader consent when an image is reviewed for use.
- Organisation · Campaign · one photo
- Versioned and auditable
- API for your CMS or DAM
Serve images through current decisions.
Route selected public images through the Ansikt URL Proxy. If someone withdraws consent, their face can blur on the next request — or the image can be taken down automatically, your choice.
- Only applies to proxied images
- Blur · pixelate · block · replace
- Withdrawals apply on next request
Every search, every export, every operator.
Every action — search, review, export, deletion — is recorded with operator, timestamp and reason. Exportable for compliance review.
- Append-only log
- Operator and reason on every action
- Export to JSON
Export the answer or proof of action.
Export appearances, source paths, decisions and audit history for an access request, removal, withdrawal or expiry.
- PDF · JSON · CSV
- Access request or action record
Where the product stops.
No public face search.
Ansikt only searches systems you connect. We do not crawl the open internet, and we do not offer public face lookup.
No US vendors.
Production infrastructure runs in the EU, on EU providers. Image analysis runs on infrastructure we operate there.
No surveillance dashboards.
There is no live feed, no CCTV plug-in, and no real-time tracking. Ansikt is for reviewing photo archives, consent and published images.
What Ansikt won't catch.
No system finds every face. These are the cases to review carefully.
- Tiny faces. Faces under roughly 40 pixels on the long side can be detected, but matching accuracy drops. Group photos shot from across a room are at the edge.
- Heavy occlusion. Profile-only shots, masks, motion blur and harsh shadows reduce detection and matching accuracy.
- Stylised images. Paintings, illustrations, AI-generated avatars and heavily filtered photos behave unpredictably.
- Locked sources. Photos behind authentication we don't have credentials for cannot be scanned. Connect the source first.
- Private accounts on third-party platforms. Public posts can be crawled when permitted. Private accounts cannot.
Designed for the problems you have already met.
You have used the consumer photo apps. You know how they look in the demo and how they behave on a real archive. This section sets out the problems you will recognise, what setup and review look like, and where the sharpening comes from after that.
The problems you have already met
- "I fix the same misidentification fifty times." You confirm an uncertain match once. Ansikt applies that correction across matching appearances in your workspace.
- "It looks good in the demo, breaks on my real archive." Ansikt starts from the people and consent records you are allowed to process. Review is narrower because the recogniser is matching against known people, not trying to name strangers.
- "No feedback loop, no audit." Every review call is logged with operator, timestamp and the evidence in front of you. Your DPO can see who decided what and walk it back if a call was wrong.
- Stylised images, occlusion, tiny faces. These are real limits and we are not going to dress them up here. See Section 04 · Limits.
What setup and review look like
- Connect sources. You authorise the places where photos live. Ansikt reads the source structure, records where each image was found, and builds the working view.
- Review known people. For people you are allowed to process, Ansikt links appearances across connected sources and queues uncertain matches for confirmation.
- Keep it current. New images are checked against what is already known. What lands in your queue is the uncertain work: weak matches, poor images, missing consent and cases that need a person to decide.
Where the sharpening comes from
Your confirmations apply across your own workspace. If you confirm that two appearances are the same known person, Ansikt uses that decision when it reviews matching appearances later.
The more approved photos you have of a given person, the stronger the reference Ansikt has for that specific person, and the fewer uncertain calls you see.
Honest curve: the first pass is the noisiest. After that, the review queue gets steadier because the system has your decisions to work from.
How much human review you need depends on archive quality, lighting and the variety of poses.
For people who have consented to processing, appearances link back to one person record. From there, Consent records what that person has agreed to, per Purpose and scope. Publishing comes after consent — with manual reporting, URL Proxy enforcement for proxied images, and review of the public websites you own.
