Version7.0.0 of the digiKam photo editing and management application is out.This release adds support for a number of new raw formats, support forApple's HEIF format, and a new mosaic plugin. The headline feature,though, appears to be completely reworked face detection: "The newcode, based on recent Deep Neural Network features from the OpenCV library,uses neuronal networks with pre-learned data models dedicated for the FaceManagement. No learning stage is required to perform face detection andrecognition. We have saved coding time, run-time speed, and a improved thesuccess rate which reaches 97% of true positives. Another advantage is thatit is able to detect non-human faces, such as those of dogs."
