This face recognition library is built with ease and customization in mind. There are numerous control parameters to control how you want to use the features, be it face detection, face recognition on videos, or with a webcam.
At its core, the facial recognition system uses Siamese Neural network. Over the years there have been different architectures published and implemented. The library uses dlib's face recognition model, which is inspired from ResNet-34 network. The modified ResNet-34 has 29 Convolutional layers. The model achieved 99.38% accuracy on LFW dataset.
There are 4 different face detectors for usage. Wrappers for video and webcam processing are provided for convenience.
For face recognition, flow is:
media -> frame -> face detection -> Facial ROI -> Neural Network -> 128D facial encoding
These are the major components:
- Face Detection: There are 4 different face detectors with different cropping options.
- Face Recognition: Responsible for handling facial recognition related functionalities like registering facial data etc.
- Storage: The system provides abstract definitions of cache and persistent storage. For usage, a simple cache using python's native data structure is provided along side a persistent storage system with JSON. If needed the abstract classes can be extended to integrate better storage systems.
- Utilities: Methods for handling image, video operations, validations, etc.
There are multiple ways to set this up.

Depending on the use case, whether to aim for accuracy and stability or speed etc., you can pick the face detector. Also, there are customization options inside face detectors to decide the facial ROI.

)There are 4 face detectors namely dlib (HOG, MMOD), MTCNN, OpenCV (CNN). All the face detectors are based on a common abstract class and have a common detection interface detect_faces(image).
# import the face detector you want, it follows absolute imports
from face_recog.media_utils import load_image_path
from face_recog.face_detection_dlib import FaceDetectorDlib
face_detector = FaceDetectorDlib(model_type="hog")
# Load the image in RGB format
image = load_image_path("data/sample/1.jpg")
# Returns a list of bounding box coordinates
bboxes = face_detector.detect_faces(image)The awesome work Davis E. King has done:
