Google Home will try to make Nest Cam ‘Familiar Faces’ more reliable – the bar is low

Google Home is improving Nest Cam’s Familiar Faces feature with thumbs up/down feedback on face previews.

It will also automatically remove low-quality face images, such as blurry or tiny examples, from the face library.

The changes aim to make identity alerts more reliable for home security and automations.

The update addresses a long-running weakness in Nest Cam face detection and labeling.
