Thank you @nickabouzeid for hunting us!
Hi All! I'm CTO at Chui and I’m happy to introduce TrueFace.ai. A suite of facial recognition APIs powered by deep learning.
Our current endpoints cover:
Face Detection - Detect when a face or multiple faces are present in a frame and get the raw 68 points for that face
Face Matching - Match a face with a stored profile, 1 to 1
Face Identification - Match a face with a database of many 1:n
Spoof Detection - Detect when someone is holding up a picture of someone else to try a fool the face recognition
We offer a full package for anyone looking to explore and use facial recognition in production. Our goal is to have the best in class technology and continuously improve it. We invite everyone to test it out and please provide feedback.
@nchafni Home Assistant (https://home-assistant.io/compon...) will be a great place to showcase your API. They already have a few image processing components, including Microsoft Face, which is very similar to your offering.
My sunday funday project (Teach a Neural Network to identify drunk from sober faces with the Trueface.ai API):
absolutely no worthy use-case for it, but fun to make!
They've been building hardware for some years, so it's pretty cool that they are opening up their API so you can take advantage of all that development and implement facial recognition into your own products.
@skellyandco Thank you, Skelly! We are seeing it being tested in banking applications, airports, secured buildings, theme parks, stadiums, cowork spaces and mobile phones. We predict that this type of technology will be the future of all access whether it be physical or digital! We plan to make it available on IFTTT and Flow and Zapier in the near future.
Interesting. Are you thinking of adding more to the APIs? I used to use face.com back in the day and they had some cool datasets like a celebrity look-a-like db.
Hi @frank_denbow perhaps in the future, in the near term we plan no hosting several in person and virtual hackathons that would explore uses like that and in the medium term we'd like to focus on improving our core tech for people to create products with.
@frank_denbow Thank you for asking! We recently hosted a hackathon where a team used the TrueFace.Ai API to enable secure payments (fraud prevention) with face matching and spoof detection got 3rd place! So we will continue to encourage creativity from these and keep improving our tech!
Kudos for API documentation, it looks really good. Some concerns regarding using your API, I can not see any privacy policy link on your website. Since its an API, I assume you're going to save all faces on your own servers which can be a concern for some companies.
@orask you can view our PP on the api request page. We're open to deploying the tech on private infrastructure when that's requested. Currently all of our data is transmitted securely and utilizes bank grade encryption at rest.
@haldun_anil not at the moment but our facedetect endpoint can return the raw 68 landmark points which you can use to train a machine learning algo to identify any expression or emotion. I'm using it today to try and teach a neural network to identify drunk from sober faces (hopefully I get good some results ;) ).
@haldun_anil - we can provide you everything that Trueface provides plus emotion detection, age, attractiveness, etc and we are beating MSFT by 20% and IBM by 50% in these areas - try www.haystack.ai - feel free to ping me direct
