Upload data for identification

There are several ways how to upload media files and metadata to the identification process.

No oranized database, just images and videos

If you have no existing organized database, you can upload a ZIP archive with images and videos into the application and the representatives of the individuals will be then selected manually in the web interface.

Identities organized in directories

If you have existing organized database in directories with the name of the identity, you can upload a ZIP archive with this structure into the application. The uploaded archive must contain directories with the name of the identity. The images and videos of the individuals must be inside these directories.
