It includes both a Python API for programmatic use and a command-line tool for batch processing folders of images.\n\nThe library handles the core tasks of face detection (finding where faces appear in an image), facial feature location (eyes, nose, mouth, chin), and face identification (comparing unknown faces against known encodings to determine matches). It supports parallel processing across multiple CPU cores and allows tolerance tuning to adjust match sensitivity.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on macOS or Linux and can install dlib. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and provides a straightforward API backed by a well-regarded deep learning model. Install friction is moderate due to dlib's compilation requirement, but the library itself installs cleanly. Not suitable for Windows without unofficial workarounds."},"id":"face-recognition","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/face-recognition","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/face-recognition.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/face-recognition/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-02-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"face-recognition","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Recognize faces from Python or from the command line"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":209145,"position":9519,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.0"}
