I was using face recognition. I'd really love to have that. Here's an idea: make the algorithm foss but have a paid super easy to use API. I'd pay money for that and I'm sure I'm not the only one! Just a thought on how you can get the best of being free and open while also monetizing.

(I'm not Lambda Labs) I'm interested in perhaps making my face recognition and 3D reconstruction API more freely available. I've got a system that goes quite a bit past simple recognition - I'm able to identify facial features to a much higher precision than the publicly available APIs, as well as reconstruct a person from a photo, in photo-realistic 3D. Interested parties can visit www.cg-general-store.com/Auto-3D-H…

Yes please. This would be great.

The key benefit Face.com offered and what I'm interested in is linking the face to the facebook demographics. Anyone know of any face.com alternatives for this?

We've been looking at the rage on twitter about this, please post what part of the face.com API you used below and we'll prioritize development:

Face recognition - attaching a facebook profile to a face. I was planning on building an entire business on top of that API feature. Luckily I'd procrastinated in this instance.

Facial recognition was the best out there and is something we're working on now.

ETA? Can I get a link or a beta signup?

I wonder if Facebook will release an Open Graph API version of this? Or if they'll be data hogs and hold onto it? The former would help them leech more photos and perfect the recognition algorithms, but I guess with the amount of photos already in their system they've got enough data to play with.

My company and I've been using the face.com face detection API extensively. OpenCV's in-built face detector just doesn't cut it, and we needed something built better.

Hi !, you could check our face recognition API at www.biometrycloud.com and if you are interested we are opening a private beta signup now !

Please do check our webpage at www.biometrycloud.com and have a look at our videos. We tested our own API over the past year or so, and now we are opening a private beta signup list. So far we have a few paying customers and want to expand quick

Facial recognition integrated with facebook was great, but the facebook part isn't necessary.

> the facebook part isn't necessary.

Necessary? Now it's the entire point.
