Faceplugin-ltd/Open-Source-Face-Recognition-SDK

What it solves

This SDK provides a free, open-source way to integrate face recognition into applications while maintaining strict data privacy. It eliminates the need for cloud-based processing by allowing all facial data to be processed locally on the user's device.

How it works

The SDK uses deep learning models to perform four primary tasks: detecting faces in an image, extracting bounding boxes and facial landmarks, generating a unique feature embedding (a mathematical representation of a face), and comparing these embeddings to calculate a similarity score between two images.

Who it’s for

Developers building security systems (like access control or biometric login), business tools for time and attendance tracking, or smart IoT devices and AR applications that require on-premise facial recognition.

Highlights

• 100% On-Premise: No data leaves the device, ensuring high privacy.
• Cross-Platform: Supports Windows and Linux.
• GPU Optional: Capable of running efficiently on CPU-only systems.
• Real-Time Processing: Designed for fast detection and recognition.
• Comprehensive API: Simple Python functions for extracting face info and calculating similarity.
