GoFaceRec VS pigo

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: [GoFaceRec](https://github.com/modanesh/GoFaceRec). This is a face recognition tool built in Go, leveraging the power of MTCNN for face detection and QMagFace for face recognition. The project was born out of a desire to bring the power of deep learning models to the Go community. After much effort, I concluded that the best approach was to convert models to TensorFlow and then work with tfgo, a Go binding to TensorFlow's C API. In GoFaceRec, the input image is first processed, and then its embeddings are compared against the ones already computed from our dataset. If the distance between embeddings falls below a specific threshold, then the face is considered as unknown. Otherwise, the proper label will be printed. The project is tested using Go 1.17 on Ubuntu 20.04. For gocv, the version of OpenCV installed is 4.7. And for tfgo, I installed [this version](https://github.com/galeone/tfgo) instead of the official one. You can install this package by running the following command in your project: > go get github.com/modanesh/[email protected] You can find more detailed instructions on how to use the tool in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/modanesh/GoFaceRec). I welcome any feedback, suggestions, or contributions to the project. I'm looking forward to seeing how the community uses GoFaceRec and hope it can be a valuable tool for those working on face recognition tasks. Happy coding! 🚀

Then I saw this library https://github.com/esimov/pigo but as far as I know, this library only detects if an image has face in it, but cannot really classify the face. CMIIW.

The task consists of porting a small portion of the PIGO face detection GO library (https://github.com/esimov/pigo/commit/29b25278c3e3436416440404b95cd3c18e145b3b) especially the face landmarks extraction section to WebAssembly/JavaScript or plain C depending of the programming language your are proficient with.

I tried https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition and https://github.com/esimov/pigo so far and they both work OK, but from there, you would need to add EXIF tags into your pictures, so they can be picked up by img-DB.

I'll use this post / opportunity to ask the HN community

(I know this is a technically complicated, and potentially sensitive subject)

I've been approached by a few people who are trying to make prescription glasses less expensive. It's a mix of (licensed) opticians, people interested in offering community health services, etc.

What is the current state of the art for PD measurement based on face / pupil tracking / detection using laptop webcams or mobile (front) cameras?

I imagine (obviously?) that there must be scholar research on the acceptable error margins for a PD measurement (depending on the type of vision condition, i.e. farsightedness, etc.)?

Would using something like Handsfree or https://github.com/esimov/pigo (which has pupil detection) be a good start, or would these be an ~order of magnitude off in terms of the necessary margins?

Thanks a lot.
