Facial recognition iOS

I have to build an app to recognize person on photo and find if this person is stored in phone book. I made face detection, I know how to take photos from people stored in phone book but I stuck on recognizing if the person is the same..

I want to ask what would be the easiest way to do it - i saw that iOS 10 comes with facial recognition in Photos app - is there any API to use facial recognition in iOS 10?

or should I use Open CV?

Solution

  • I built something similar some years ago. I would suggest you look into perceptual hashing as it's an easy and inexpensive way of matching images.
