Self-Hosted Open-Source Face Recognition SDK Released

Want to add face recognition to an app without sending anyone's face to a cloud API? This open-source SDK runs completely on your own servers, so the data never leaves your infra.

What Happened

The repository at https://github.com/Faceplugin-ltd/Open-Source-Face-Recognition-SDK is a self-hosted SDK for local computer vision. It detects faces in images and video, extracts landmarks and feature vectors, matches faces, and scores similarity. It's built for identity verification and access management, with 100% on-premise deployment.

Why It Matters

With biometric data, keeping processing on-premise avoids the compliance and privacy issues of cloud APIs. You get the core building blocks of a face recognition system without per-call fees or a third party in the loop.
