face_matching | great blog article series of @ ageitgey I wanted to play

face_matching is a Python library. face_matching has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

After reading the great blog article series of @ageitgey I wanted to play around with some machine learning things. Especially his blog post Machine Learning is Fun! Part 4: Modern Face Recognition with Deep Learning gives a great introduction how face recognition works. face_matching.py uses his python library "face_recognition" to play around with face recognition techniques. You just need to pass a portrait of two persons to the script and a folder with some example pictures. face_matching.py generates a log file with the results and opens each picture that has been passed to the script. In this so-called preview mode, the script draws a box araound the recognized face and the name of person1 or person2. Also the similarity is shown. You can also disable the preview mode using the --no_preview / -n flag.
