Profiles

Profile is an object that contains metadata about a person, person's photo (avatar), activities and a set of samples, including the main sample. A biometric template from the main sample is used by an agent to check for a profile in the database, and by the platform - to determine a profile which the new activities should be attached to.

You can access the Profiles page through the side menu or the Profiles panel on the home page.

Create Profiles

To create a profile, you need to upload a person's image (avatar) to the platform and fill in the profile data. In the default profile card, you can specify a name, gender, date of birth, add description and the created profile to a watchlist.

When creating a profile, the system automatically estimates the gender and age of a person according to the uploaded avatar. If the date of birth is specified in the profile card, then the age will be calculated relative to this date, otherwise, the age calculated by the system will be shown.

The created profiles will appear in the search index after a certain period of time. By default, this time does not exceed one minute.

If OMNI Agent sends the activity of a person, who does not have a profile in the database, the system allows generating a profile directly from the received activity. To do this, just click the Create profile from activity button for a specific activity on the Activities page. In this case, the best shot will automatically be used as the avatar.

Create a Single Profile

1. Click Create a Profile button at Profiles page.
2. Upload the image for avatar, fill in the profile data and click Create.

Avatar image should meet the following requirements:

• The image is of good quality, clear, without shadows, bright illumination and glare.
• The image contains only one face.
• The image is full-face.
• The face in the image is in a vertical position.
• We recommend that you do not upload images with a large face inclination angle.
• Facial expression is neutral.
• The eyes of the person in the image are open
• The image size is no more than 6mb.
• Image format is jpg, png, bmp.
• Image height and width do not exceed 4032 pixels

3. As a result, a profile will be created in the database.

Create Multiple Profiles

To create up to 25 profiles at once, do the following:

1. Select Create several profiles option of Create a Profile button.

2. Drag-and-drop several images or select files via system file manager. The image requirements are the same as for creating a single profile.

3. The profiles are created in several steps:

• The uploaded image is checked for the above-mentioned image requirements.
• The uploaded image is checked for duplication.

If the image passes a check, you'll see the message that a new profile is successfully created, otherwise the system will show error note.

note

To create profiles from your dataset images you can use a special script, included into the Platform distribution kit. The script accepts a file that contains paths to dataset images, and then sends requests to the Platform to create profiles from these images.

View and Edit Profiles

Detailed information on each profile is available in its card. To open the profile card, simply click on the profile you are interested in on the Profiles page.

note

In the upper left corner of the card is a button with a shortened profile ID. To get the full ID, just hover over this button. If you click it, the ID will be copied to the clipboard.

You can change the following fields in the card: avatar, name, gender, date of birth and description. Also, via the card you can add/remove a profile from the watchlist. After making changes, click the Save button.

Add Custom Fields for Profiles

By default, the following profile fields are available for filling in: name, gender, date of birth, and description. If needed, you can add new custom fields that will contain additional information about the profiles (for example, position, country of residence or phone number). Once created, the new custom field will be available for editing in the profile creation card, as well as in the cards of all existing profiles.

Create a Custom Field

1. Go to the Custom fields page (menu item Settings → Custom fields) and click the Create custom field button.

Deleting multiple profiles

On the Profiles page, select all profiles (via the checkbox in the page header) or certain profiles and click the Delete button.

note

When deleting multiple profiles, clicking on the Delete button will start the deletion process immediately without confirmation.

Automatic Update

When multiple cameras work simultaneously, new objects are created too often and hinder interactions with already existing ones. In this case you can disable automatic data update.

To disable automatic update, click a toggle button in the table header.

After automatic update is disabled, you'll see an icon with counter that displays a number of new profiles created from the time automatic update was stopped.

Click this icon and the system will upload all new data.

Automatic update can be enabled by clicking a toggle button or just by updating the page.

Sorting options are the following:

• Creation date
