face-matching
Diagnose, improve, or operate person-centered face matching across photo libraries, video, social profiles, directories, events, and other media when reference discovery, identity verification, detection failures, unknown people, or safe face-to-person assignment are involved. Use for face recognition and face-reference sourcing; not for generic image editing, image generation, or galleries without an identity-matching problem.

# Face Matching
Match real faces to the right people while preserving uncertainty, consent, source boundaries, and existing correct assignments. Keep the ordinary path simple for people who already have a good reference; spend additional retrieval and inference only on unresolved cases.
Read supporting material only when it helps the task:
- [references/resources-and-source-strategies.md](references/resources-and-source-strategies.md): inventory of usable person records, LinkedIn/X/GitHub, employer/personal pages, public search, existing photo collections, video, transcripts, timestamps, browser access, and relevant installed skills/tools.
- [references/worldsfair-2026-journey.md](references/worldsfair-2026-journey.md): detailed real-world case study, concrete incorrect matches, identity corrections, production counts, failed hypotheses, and eight benchmarked padding recoveries.
- [references/implementation-and-operations.md](references/implementation-and-operations.md): existing SCRFD/SFace implementation, image-quality gates, operational commands, repository paths, regression checks, and release verification.
## Distinguish the five problems
1. **Identity coverage:** Do we even know that this person belongs in the searchable population? The source might be a customer directory, employee roster, contact list, event program, cast list, photo metadata, video title, caption, or prior human review.
2. **Person identity:** Does a profile, document, media item, or candidate name actually refer to the right individual? Similar names, employers, public aliases, organizations, and historical affiliations are evidence, not identity by themselves.
