DT Identify
Facial recognition and identity search for photo and film collections.
Every Face Has a Story
DT Identify transforms large photo and film archives into collections that can be explored by the people within them. Using AI-assisted facial recognition, it identifies notable individuals, connects the same person across decades of imagery, and generates searchable metadata—turning previously anonymous faces into meaningful, discoverable connections across your collection.
What It Does
- Identifies notable individuals across large photo and film collections
- People search — find every photo of a specific person across decades of material in seconds
- Clustering — groups unidentified faces together so your team identifies a person once, not image-by-image
- Generates face-based metadata automatically, attached to each asset for future search
Built For
- Sports archives — identify athletes, coaches, and staff across decades of team photography (see Sports Organizations)
- Media & entertainment — identify cast, crew, and public figures across production stills and press photography (see Media & Entertainment)
- Museums & archives — identify previously unnamed subjects in historic photography
- Government & institutional archives — identify officials, ceremony attendees, and event participants
How It Works
DT Identify runs on the same high-fidelity raw captures produced during DT DigiLabs digitization projects — or on images your institution already has. It doesn’t require a new capture project to get started.
RESPONSIBLE AI: DT Identify’s matches are AI-assisted candidates, not final answers. Every result is designed to be reviewed and confirmed by a person on your team before it’s published or relied on — DT Identify accelerates identification, it doesn’t replace institutional judgment.
Pairs Well With:
- Digitization & Capture — start with a fresh capture, then identify
- DT Registrar — combine identity search with object and content metadata for full collection search
