Solution to match faces from uploaded pictures

I have a situation where I can upload a picture and it will return the name of the person in the photo by matching the face with the one already in the database.

    I think that a simple way, a ploy, maybe using the EXIF data. On upload, the user should insert, in the upload form, for example, the id card number or passport id number. It's not easy ... there are solutions for fingerprints but for facial recognition, I do not think it's easy

      About this issue, I found something interesting on github in pure php: FaceDetector.php This class use an algorithm taken from the matlab. Seems a good point to start. This class recognizes that the image is a face but is not able to matching the face. With MatLAB is possible to do a face detection, there is an interesting video on youtube that explains how matlab work with face detection: Face Recognition with MATLAB in R2014b. I hope this could be interesting for someone.

    This class avoids the need to have OpenCV installed on the server.

      Keep in mind that the poster does not just want to recognize there is a face in a picture.

      He wants to detect if there is a face in a picture that can be the same as in other pictures of users he has in the database. So it does not seem to be that simple.

    In your case I think phash is more suitable, instead of opencv, if you still want open cv implementation try this https://github.com/mgdm/OpenCV-for-PHP

    If the project involves kożysta camera then you will probably still hook DirectShow SDK library and more you will have to use the mechanisms of multi-threaded and comes here with the help of Intel TBB library should provide the anticipated effect. Although I have no experience in these matters.

    You can try phash algorithm. I think face recognition in an image is very difficult problem to solve. OpenCV may be better.

      That can be something that you could implement, given that you know the algorithm.

      No, thanks. I know only little about OpenCV and the math behind it. I think its too difficult. pHash is average to understand.

    face matching!? ... you mean face recognition and identity identification based on that picture? You want a face into database, and when you upload any image with the face of that person, the class need to figure out who it is?

      Interesting problem!

      Maybe a wrapper class around the OpenCV library would solve both parts of the problem, i.e. indexing existing pictures and matching a new picture with others in the database.

      That may be a nice suggestion for somebody to create an innovative package.

      4 Recommendations

      HAAR PHP Image Feature Detection Library: Detect features (e.g faces) in images

      This package can be used to detect features (e.g. faces) that may be present in images

      It provides a PHP implementation of feature detection methods based on Haar Cascades using Viola-Jones-Lienhart et al Algorithm.

      The package can take a PHP GD image handle and process the image to detect features like shapes of objects that the image may contain.

      This package can be used to detect faces in a image. It is half of the solution you need. The other half is to recognize specific images.

        I am the author of this recommended package, but this package is for object (eg face) detection. It is not really suitable (unless more specialised code is added) for face identification which is what is requested in the question.

      pixlab PHP Facedetect and Image Processing: Process images using the PixLab Machine Vision API

      This class can process images using the PixLab Machine Vision API.

      It can send HTTP GET and POST requests to the PixLab API server to perform several types of operations on images.

      Currently it supports all API request types to perform operations like detecting faces on images, blurring faces, applying Snapchat like filters, etc..

      PixLab can recognize and detect faces in a given image or video frame.

      PHP Compare Images Similarity: Compare two images to find if they are similar

      This class can compare two images to find if they are similar.

      It resizes the images to a 8x8 square, converts the result into grey scale images, takes the color mean, and computes the hammering distance of the images' bits.

      The class returns a number that is below 10 if the images are similar.

      read this article https://www.phpclasses.org/blog/post/584-How-Can-PHP-Compare-Two-Images-for-Similarity.html to know how to use it.You may need a serious, fast detetection package then look at https://www.phpclasses.org/package/10419.html

        I know it is a little bit late to reply for the topic, but here goes a little contribution for those in the same need. The OP needs Similarity detection, and OpenFace (@ github search for cmusatyalab/openface) can do that, the only problem is, it's in Python (perhaps use the idea and write it in PHP). I hope it helps.

      Imagedit Pro: Image manipulation operations and face detection

      This class can perform image manipulation operations and face detection.

      It can perform several types of image manipulation operations like rotating, applying grayscale effects, multiply the image with another, overlay two images, change the brightness or contrast, crop and resize the image, setting the transparent color, mask the image on alpha-channel with an image, flipping the image in both directions and apply the negation effect.

      The class also uses a separate library by Karthik Tharavaad to detect the faces in images. It can extract the shape of the detected images and crop the original image according to the detected face shape.

      This class can do face detection but not face matching. Doesn't use OpenCV

        This is interesting but I am not sure if it can solve the user problem.

        I think he wants to have a way to recognize a face in picture as belonging to a certain user in his site database.

        I guess it would be like Facebook looking at a picture and suggesting that a certain picture is of an user already in the social network.

        I wonder if your class can be used to perform that task.
