Accumulate a tagged face dataset for profile pictures
Table of Contents
This page is a capture in the inbox bucket of the product backlog — a pre-sprint idea, not yet pulled into a sprint as a story.
What
Build a seed catalog of generated face images for account profile pictures.
Generate the faces via facestudio.app, tag each by attributes (e.g. age
band, gender presentation, ethnicity, expression) so the seeder can pick a
plausible face per synthetic account, and accumulate the catalog over time
within the API's throttling limits rather than in one batch. Stored as a
ores.seeder dataset so account provisioning can attach a picture to each
profile. The eventual consumers are the IAM account seeder and the Qt/Wt
profile UI.
Why
Synthetic accounts currently have no profile pictures, so the UI and demos look bare. A pre-accumulated, attribute-tagged catalog lets us assign realistic pictures deterministically at seed time without hitting the generation API live (and within its rate limits).
