Re: [CODE4LIB] Are any facial recognition APIs available?

2012-10-26 Thread Kevin S. Clarke
I don't personally know they are legit.  All I can say is they haven't
gone wild with my credit card... yet.  I learned about them here:
http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/04/following-facebooks-shut-down-of-face-coms-facial-recognition-api-lambda-labs-debuts-an-open-source-alternative/

I had the same concerns though :-)

Hmmm... Lambdal wants my credit card information for me to be able to sign
up for the free (low monthly use) facial recognition.  Do you personally
know that they are legit?

You might try:

http://api.lambdal.com/

Supposedly its API is the same as the old Face.com one. I haven't used
it myself.

Not an API per se, but OpenCV face tagging with Python! Here's an old
and hacky example...I bet there are better ones out there now.

[CODE4LIB] Are any facial recognition APIs available?

2012-10-25 Thread Wilhelmina Randtke
I used face.com 's facial recognition API, when it was available, to do a
project where I tagged some people in a set of photos and then it suggested
who unidentified people might be.

I want to do something similar for a digitization project, but face.com was
bought by Facebook, so no more API for me.

Does anyone here know of an available API for recognizing and tagging faces
in photos?
