  • CompreFace - Free and open-source self-hosted face recognition system from Exadel

    As for me, openface is already outdated - the latest release was in 2016.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.

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

    I did a quick google search and found this (Face Recognition using Tensorflow)[https://github.com/davidsandberg/facenet].

    Technically anyone can do this, but you will need to know a bit of the tools (and possibly some programming). There's a bunch of models and techniques for image recognition (for example - https://github.com/davidsandberg/facenet)
