OpenFace open source face recognition application

What is OpenFace? Several companies are engaged in the development of software and hardware that uses recognition technology . The software developed is capable of distinguishing faces and emotions in real time. facial recognition OpenFace

But to date, these projects are proprietary. Will the Open Source community ever be able to keep up with the already advanced technology?

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon αναπτύσσουν ένα open source facial recognition based on research FaceNet Google (PDF).

It is called OpenFace, and its developers report that they can recognize real-time faces using 10 as facepost as a reference.

Watch the video below to see the program in action:

The datasets that developers use to build the proso that it recognizes persons is relatively insignificant compared to the data used by the corresponding closed source software.

Researchers say the results are very encouraging:

Data sets used are fewer than those used by industry face recognition applications, and the accuracy is extremely high and exceeds all other open source face recognition applications that we know and are based on the LFW reference standard.

Of course there is plenty of room for development but the open source face recognition program, OpenFace, seems to be on the right track.
