You can search for faces across sources regardless of the angle of the face or the date of the sources.

Many factors affect the performance of face recognition, including camera location (placement), distance of objects from the cameras, camera resolution (pixels), scene lighting, quality of the face image, angle of camera, and type of camera. For more information, see the Face Recognition white paper.Face Recognition white paper

Click the three-line menu Hamburger icon.png and in the Show objects with section, select Faces. All recognized faces will be shown. However, only objects that are 2-3 star faces can be added to the Face Recognition filter. To reset this selection, unselect Faces.
