  • Face Verification: Verify whether two face pictures belong to the same person.

    - Facial recognition: Find the identity of the input image in a database of known faces.

    - Facial attribute analysis: Predict age, gender, race and emotion of facial images.

    - Embedded representation: returns a multi-dimensional vector representation of the facial image (key features of the face)

    It is a hybrid facial recognition framework that wraps multiple advanced models such as VGG-Face, Google FaceNet, OpenFace, Facebook DeepFace, DeepID, ArcFace, Dlib and SFace.

    These models have reached or exceeded human accuracy (97.53%) on facial recognition tasks.

    DeepFace also supports real-time video analysis and provides an API that allows its functionality to be called from external systems such as mobile apps or web pages. In addition, it also provides a command line interface to facilitate users to access its functions from the command line.

    The main advantage:

    1. High accuracy: DeepFace integrates multiple advanced facial recognition models, such as VGG-Face, Google FaceNet, OpenFace, Facebook DeepFace, etc. The accuracy of these models on facial recognition tasks is very high, and some even reach or exceed Exceeding human accuracy (97.53%).

    2. Versatility: In addition to basic facial recognition and verification functions, DeepFace also provides facial attribute analysis (such as age, gender, race, and emotion prediction), which allows it to be applied to a wider range of scenarios.

    3. Flexibility and compatibility: DeepFace supports a variety of face detectors and similarity calculation methods, allowing it to adapt to different application needs and environments.

    4. Ease of use: DeepFace is relatively simple to install and use. It provides Python API and command line interface to facilitate users with different backgrounds.

    5. Real-time video analysis: DeepFace also supports real-time video analysis, which is very useful for application scenarios that require dynamic facial recognition and analysis.
