How to Build a Facial Recognition App (A Step-by-Step Guide & Tutorial) [using Python & Flask]
Have you ever seen how modern phones recognize the faces of their owners? Or maybe you are interested in the way phones or cameras can detect faces of people in real-time? This is possible due to computer vision (CV), a large subfield of machine learning. In this tutorial, we will show how to use computer vision inside your web application. The …
“FPEG” for PHP using a Face Detection API
What is FPEG? FPEG detects faces in an image and compresses those regions less than the surrounding pixels. In theory the human visual cortex is more sensitive to compression artifacts on faces then surrounding context, therefore using higher compression in non-facial regions will lead to smaller images with comparable perceived quality. -- Andrew …
How to Create an App with Kairos Facial Recognition API in Javascript
What is Facial Recognition? Facial recognition is a system of processes or algorithms that translates the characteristics of a face from a digital source into numbers that can be used to later identify the face. Face detection, and the ethics surrounding the practice, has become an important topic in tech and a valid topic in political …
What is Facial Recognition?
Facial Recognition Facial recognition technology uses advanced software, often operated by artificial intelligence (AI) in its increasingly sophisticated methods, to identify faces of people using cameras. The technology has come a long way in recent years and all indications point to the continued development of this technology until it …
What Is Machine Learning, How Does It Work, and What Is It Used For?
As we continue to develop new technologies, we learn more about what computers are capable of doing. In fact, computers are becoming so advanced that we’re training them to act and think more as humans do. Computers are even “learning” how to function autonomously and can continuously improve on their own — all thanks to machine learning. What Is …

The Top 5 OCR APIs & Software by Accuracy, Price & Capabilities
What is OCR? OCR - Optical Character Recognition - is a useful machine vision capability. OCR lets you recognize and extract text from images, so that it can be further processed/stored. This is very useful for processing scans/pictures of text - for instance, when working with invoices, scanned forms and signage. We’ve looked at several APIs …
Dropbox and TrueFace.ai Facial Recognition Security System [TUTORIAL]
Office security is always a concern that needs to be properly addressed, especially for tech companies. But there aren’t a lot of great solutions out there. Key cards are easy to lose. Fobs can be lost or stolen as well. Enter the power of APIs! This past week, I built an office security system using facial recognition. A facial recognition …
Project Highlight: Contextual Billboards With APIs
Billboards, or out of home (OOH) advertising, generate more than $7.3 billion in ad revenue a year. What if developers could use APIs to make them a lot more relevant? Today, we're highlighting Karunanidhi Devanidhi and Ganeshbabu Thavasimuthu for their HackTX project around contextual billboards. To better visualize their project, imagine this …
