| I just remembered, there is no face recognition in google
| cloud, they provide only face detection. If you need face
| detection, you still can use CompreFace, just don't upload any
| photos to Face Collection, and it will just find the face and
| return it's coordinates

| succeeded :)

| Free my ass.
|
| EDIT: My bad. I understood it like you had to log into a service
| outside the application itself. I'm terribly sorry for my
| comment.

| Hi thatwasunusual, I'm happy that I read your comment after
| your edit, no hard feelings ;)
|
| Just to clarify, all data is stored locally. It could be run
| even without internet, once it's downloaded from dockerhub
|
| I have one question to you as for the person who definitely
| concerned about privacy To better understand what features are
| popular we are planning to gather anonymous information from
| the next release. What measures we are going to take: 1. You
| will be asked for permit during the first registration. If no
| permit - we won't send anything 2. We send only anonymized
| information - no names, no geolocation data, no images, etc. 3.
| We are open source, so it's easy to check if we send only this
| information, all code is in github.
|
| Will it be enough for not worry about your data?

| It's still free though. Are you paying for anything with this

| Hey everyone, we are creating a CompreFace - face recognition
| solution for developers that could be used without a machine
| learning experience.
|
| It can be used as any paid SaaS like Amazon Rekognition, but it's
| totally free. How to use it:
|
| 1. Start the service with one command using docker-compose config
|
| 2. Use UI to create face collections
|
| 3. Use REST API to add faces to face collections and recognize
| faces
|
| We also have a roles system, so you can control who has access to
| face collections. We use the FaceNet library under the hood, but
| we are planning to add support of the InsightFace library. What
| we are planning to add in the next release:
|
| * Support of face detection and face verification (only face
| identification for now)
|
| * GPU support
|
| * Support of age and gender detection
|
| We really need your feedback: * Does it make sense for you to use
| ready-to-use solutions instead of python libraries?
|
| * What more features do you expect from such a solution?
|
| * It would be great if you try to install it - we tried our best
| to make it as simple as possible, we want to check it on a wide
| audience
|
| Any other feedback is welcome!

| example. Additionally, a series/set of ROC Curves demonstrating
| the system against known datasets would be very useful.

| We are going to add landmarks information in one of the next

| I understand that it's better to add such functionality to
| CompreFace, I'll add this to our backlog
|
| About comparison with other systems - as I mentioned we use
| Facenet under the hood. According to their GitHub, the
| accuracy on LFW data set is 99.65%:

| Yes, we will publish docker-compose configs that uses
