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!

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.

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

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?
