smashing idea :) thank you! i was just about to use paid google cloud atuff for that and here's a surprise like that, thanks again!

Wow, I hope CompreFace will suit you. Feel free to contact me here, or in any other way(gitter, issues in github, support email) if you have any issues. We are really trying to make it easy to install and use, but I need to be sure that we succeeded :)

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 h…

Typically an FR system includes some reference for face/head orientation. "Able to detect faces when the orientation is +/y some roll, pitch, yaw of looking directly at the camera", for 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 releases. I think It could be calculated from this data. But 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%: https://github.com/davidsandberg/facenet#pre-trained-models

have you considered to switch to https://github.com/deepinsight/insightface as base model?

Yes, we will publish docker-compose configs that uses insightface with some of the nearest releases. We'll still support Facenet as well, so we'll see what library is more popular.

> You need to sign up for the system and log in into the account you’ve just created or use the one you already have. 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?

There is "free" as in "free beer" and "free" as in "free speech".

You need to host it on your servers, so you still need pay for the servers, or at least for electricity if they in your home/office :) CompreFace is free, there is no paid version

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

It sounded like the previous comment wasn't asking for orientation detection as a feature. I interpreted the question to be asking under what orientations CompreFace can be expected to work.
