Archive Search

Archive Search works against indexed historical results. It supports natural language, face recognition, and image similarity search modes from the same page.

The screenshot below shows the archive search form with the search mode tabs.

Search modes​

Use the tabs at the top of the page to choose one of these modes:

  • Natural Language Search
  • Face Recognition Search
  • Image Similarity Search

This mode requires:

  • What do you want to detect?
  • What do you want to search for?

The object type list currently includes Person, Vehicle, Animal, and Bag.

This mode lets you search by:

  • Person
  • Group

The name field uses autocomplete results returned from the server. Select a suggestion before you run the search.

This mode accepts one uploaded image. Drag and drop the file or use Browse to choose it locally.

Time filters​

Archive Search supports three time scopes:

  • All dates
  • Date range
  • Recent window

Date range uses start and end date/time fields. Recent window uses days, hours, and minutes back from the current time.

Working with results​

The screenshot below shows the archive results list with result cards and sort controls.

Result cards show:

  • timestamp
  • source file or stream
  • region
  • confidence, when available
  • detected face name, when available
  • image thumbnail with full-size preview

You can sort results by:

  • Confidence
  • Time
  • Source

Each result card also exposes follow-on actions:

  • Find this <object> in archive
  • Find this <object> live

Find this <object> in archive starts a similarity-style pivot from the selected result. Find this <object> live attempts to carry the current archive criteria into the live search workflow.
