World_Domination

Nothing to see here....

Looks like we are going somewhere and I should add some documentation before I forget how this works myself. This is a search engine for faces. Faces are scraped from whatever source you want, stored in a sql db and can be searched.

Installation Instructions:

1. You will need to install openface as detailed on their website https://cmusatyalab.github.io/openface/setup/
2. Install and configure MariaDB (refer to db_setup.txt)
3. Edit config.example.py with the relevant data and save it as config.py
4. your done!

How to use it:

Right now there are only two commands:

• get_face.py
  • Takes one argument, location of image (file path or URL)
  • Finds all face bounding boxes, processes the faces and stores them in the db
• search.py
  • Takes file path as argument
  • Returns list of faces that match and how closely they match

Important Info:
