Where can I get a copy of 'Facedetect'?

[Shabakthanai]

Apparently a discontinued Ubuntu application in 2013. Not being able to find it reeks of Government infringements on freedom. If anyone has it, I installed all the required dependencies for it. I would appreciate a download copy if possible. Thanks Shab

Thanks my friend. I am probably just an old fool, but I want to leave my computer behind with applications that may help my grandchildren, if what seems to be happening with our government continues.

With the government able to label anything they want as terrorism to bypass the rights of Americans, and the liberal choice of understanding our Constitution, and the continuously diminishing of freedom and rights, I am concerned about the world my grandchildren face. My paranoia may be unnecessary, but I can see no harm to try to protect them in the ways that are still available.

When I read that Ubuntu had been unique in the making of face recognition software, I was not surprised. With current movies making it seem like it is a perfected capability, I want the work to be in my data base. I am inclined to believe that it is perfected and its perfection hidden by our government. I have lost all faith in our government. Everything they release in the way of information, I suspect as a lie. I cannot understand the why of their desires to take our freedom away, I am not smart enough. But, I am smart enough to be concerned. Things just don't seem to be right. There is an elephant in the room. Plus, GOD predicted this kind of government control, which I do believe.

I hope you and yours are healthy, prosperous and extremely happy, my friend.

Thanks!

Your welcome!

[Shabakthanai]

Has anyone ever accused you of being cute? And I don't mean in some immoral and perverted way?

Your welcome!

So, what does it do? (Facedetect, not Gov't)

[Shabakthanai]

It can identify the name of a person from a photograph. From the descriptions of the Ubuntu version in 2013, it appears to work the same as those shown in films in detective programs. A square isolates the face portion of a person and several points of identification are selected, which like a fingerprint identify the image.

When my interest was stimulated, I just tried to look into the technology to learn more about it. When I did, Ubuntu's application was the only entry for Linux. In fact, I got the idea that the Linux programmers were the ones that were emulated in the films. When they were no longer were available through Ubuntu, it seemed fishy to me.

The government has changed so severely in an anti-GOD manner that I no longer trust our government. Issues of morality and control have changed in ways I disapprove. I do not believe anything they release in the way of information. I hate the fact that people can be incarcerated without a lawyer. I hate that they have changed the freedom to say our beliefs. I hate the immoral direction our country is taking. The laws of man began to support the wishes and opinions of GOD, not the reverse. When HIS laws take secondary position to the laws of a bunch of self-serving congressmen, I reject the man-made law. I don't break it, but I don't follow it either. Those who do, will regret their choice when judged by HIM at the time of their death. I hate governments interference in spiritual matters. The constitution does not guarantee separation of church and state, it rules that government must not interfere in spiritual matters. It is unilateral in direction. Shab

You're not alone, brother!

I got curious and decided to see what the program would do. I quickly changed my mind when it wanted to install 100 new programs just to one thing, scan images for faces.

This is why snap is such a good idea.

EDIT: I got to looking around for face recognition software that was more recent and Plasma 5 compatible. I found that since version 2.0 DigiKam has supported facial recognition.
version 4.1 claims

• The face management feature has seen huge improvements and includes fixes for some problems introduced in recent releases.
• The detection and recognition of faces is now more robust and suitable for production

and the version in the repository is at 4.12.

Here it is in action THREE years ago, so perhaps it has improved even more:

If you think you have the chops for C++ programming (Qt5 API?) then here is a good API for computer vision:

O ,,,,Nice

I used to be a big fan of digiKam ,,,,,,,,but haven't had it installed in a few years .

However I must say this Face recognition/finding stuff dose seem to work quite well .

I just installed the latest in Neon and the darn thing found picks I had forgotten I had on this box wile running a "scan for faces" in the "browse people" tab .

99% of my picks are screen shots for forum stuff , and these actual pictures were a few DIR's deep in ~/Pictures (the DIR I gave it for my collection) so it must do it's looking recursively from their .

scanning for faces found them and gave me this




the tagging and and finding matches seams to work as well .

Identify a selected person from a photograph.

So, what does it do? (Facedetect, not Gov't)

[Shabakthanai]

Hi Vinny, is there an easy way to find and install the application? I couldn't find it in Muon. Shab

Thanks for the input Vinny, it is nice to hear your digital voice. I will keep trying, I think I would like it. Shab
