Help: Face Recognition using LBP confused with unknown Faces

Hello everyone, I try to use this face recognition code below which I found on one of the Opencv documentation, but I have a problem when a new person face who is not in the recognition database is compared, the program confused saying this face is Mr.X or Mr.y or Mr.z who are already in the database. It works fine if face of the person to be compared is already in the face recognition database.

Please people, your help will kindly be appreciated.

    // The following lines create an LBPH model for
    // face recognition and train it with the images and
    // labels read from the given CSV file.
    //
    // The LBPHFaceRecognizer uses Extended Local Binary Patterns
    // (it's probably configurable with other operators at a later
    // point), and has the following default values
    //
    //      radius = 1
    //      neighbors = 8
    //      grid_x = 8
    //      grid_y = 8
    //
    // So if you want a LBPH FaceRecognizer using a radius of
    // 2 and 16 neighbors, call the factory method with:
    //
    //      cv::createLBPHFaceRecognizer(2, 16);
    //
    // And if you want a threshold (e.g. 123.0) call it with its default values ...

As already mentioned in the code you can use model->predict(testSample, predictedLabel, confidence); to get the predictedLabel and confidence, the confidence variable will give you the estimate of how accurate the prediction is. the lesser the value to more accurate the prediction is.

So you can use it like this way

if(confidence<50){
    // put the predictedLebel as a detected face
}
else{
    // put the Unknown as a detected face
}

Now you can play with this value 50 to work best for you.

Here is a series of articles in python if you are interested for face recognition for known and unknown faces
