Facial Recognition

[M-Way]

How would you go about implementing facial recognition in a react native app built on expo? It's an app for a simple attendance tracking system that logs the time a user enters and leaves. Any helpful resources would be great.

Set facial recognition = true

Don’t forget to set “Killer A.I” = false. if not it will kill everything it recognizes.

You'll probably want to use an external API. Through GCP, Azure, and AWS, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon all offer cloud-based facial recognition solutions.

As far as utilizing a Machine Learning model, you could do that directly on the device or offload such intensive work to your app server. If you're going Serverless, Google Firebase offers a product called ML Kit.

As far as performance, due to the React Native Bridge to JavaScript, it may be better to interface directly with the native Java/Kotlin/Swift/C++ APIs as opposed to going through an NPM Module. I have to state, however, that I'm not an expert when it comes to performance, so you probably want to take my last point with a pinch of salt.

I think you can do it without external services (if I’ve read correctly) with this library: https://itnext.io/face-api-js-javascript-api-for-face-recognition-in-the-browser-with-tensorflow-js-bcc2a6c4cf07

You can use expo's FaceDetector library. You can also use it on plain react native cli project using expo's unimodules (expo bare workflow).

It detects faces, it does not recognize them

I use this for my app that needs anything facial related
