I'm building a web app and for one of its core feature, I need to implement face recognition. Machine learning is not the area in which I am a specialist. And currently, my budget is limited to hire someone who will create a computer vision model for me. What I can do in order to fight this issue?
I think the 3rd party API is the best choice in your situation. You can set up a connection to the API on the backend of your application and then use it as a black box: send the data (images) and receive needed results for further processing. No need to know about how actual face recognition is performed there. In addition, many of the solutions have a free pricing tier, which could be great for the development phase and early life of your application.
Can you recommend some of the APIs, please?
I don't know your case in details. Do you want to only detect faces on the images, or verify the identity of a person using the face? Or maybe you want to implement something more sophisticated? In any way, I would research the solutions from the top cloud providers first. You can compare supported features, prices, and convenience of usage and then decide what is your best option. IBM has its Watson Visual Recognition service, Microsoft Azure has the Face API as the component of the Cognitive Services, Amazon Rekognition is responsible for computer vision in the AWS platform, Cloud Vision API is the similar product of Google. It's up to your choice.
Thanks
