facenet VS deepface

As for me, openface is already outdated - the latest release was in 2016. If you look for a library, the easiest to use is ageitgey/face_recognition. The more accurate libraries are davidsandberg/facenet and deepinsight/insightface.

ML training is practically impossible on micro-controllers. Inferencing on the other hand is quite doable, especially if aided by a [TPU coprocessor](https://coral.ai/products/accelerator/). Supposedly with the TPU you can do some quantization-aware training, but I haven't tried this. I am working on a security system that does facial recognition to recognize me and some friends and considers anyone else as an intruder. How I am doing this is by retraining [Facenet](https://github.com/davidsandberg/facenet) with my facial embeddings. Use something like Haar Cascade in OpenCV to get the bounding box for a face and put it through the model to extract face embeddings. You can then save these embeddings as a sort of databases for the faces you want it to recognize during the inferencing phase. After that you can impose something like a SVM classifier to say who in your face database it is. One thing I will note is that the problem is even easier if you are only concerned with one face - in which case it is technically face identification - not recognition. If that is the case, you only need to do a difference calculation between the embeddings you saved during training and the result output from inferencing. If you do end up using the TPU, you can connect to it over USB from inside a container (I only know how to do this in Docker though) too. Hope this was helpful. I am actually looking to use a k8s cluster eventually too as a sort of smart hub for my security system and other devices so I can handle much more traffic (not sure if this is overkill or not on the pi 4s).

He might just be a solid techie because the scripts are freely available on github. https://github.com/davidsandberg/facenet

You might also want to categorize using either mediapose's holistic model which includes the face mesh or maybe something that gauges emotion like this: https://github.com/serengil/deepface

This is another one I tried but requires programming knowledge. https://github.com/serengil/deepface

It must be a matter of time before we have this, we have so many library's that can detect a face expression. For example: https://github.com/serengil/deepface

I bought a On1 license, but as you point out, it has no facial recognition nor any plans to add it. That also means it has no concept of face regions as implemented in XMP, so that cannot be retrofitted by running face recognition externally, e.g. using an open-source solution like Deepface.

deepface - newer version which has multiple face detectors in it you can mess with, dlib included. Also does face recognition.

If you're looking for models / planning to write some code yourself: Have a look at ArcFace for recognition and RetinaFace for face detection by Insightface. DeepFace repository might also be worth a try.

DeepFace utilizes a collection of different face detection models listed here: models = ["VGG-Face", "Facenet", "Facenet512", "OpenFace", "DeepFace", "DeepID", "ArcFace", "Dlib", "SFace"]
