Facial Recognition App

This is my very first app! 

As the name suggests, this is a facial recognition app and uses the Clarifai API to detect faces in images. This app is fully hosted on Render and consists of a front end which allows users to create accounts, log in and interact with the app. 

Once logged in, users can simply paste a URL to an image that contains a face and press detect. The app will then draw a blue box around the face within the image… very cool! 

Need a guide on what how to use the app? User guide coming soon! 

The app also consists of a back end which allows the front end of the app to “talk” to the database. I have used PostgreSQL for my database. 

Future Updates...

This was my very first app so there is room for improvement. Plans for improvement include:

– updating the app to enable detection of multiple faces as it will currently only detect one face per image. 

– update the login and register pages to enable users to submit their information by pressing “enter” on their keyboards as well as clicking the register and sign in buttons.
