face_recognition and FaceRec
One is a widely-adopted general-purpose facial recognition library, while the other is a specialized real-time facial recognition system that could potentially utilize the former's underlying face detection and embedding generation capabilities as a component.
About face_recognition
ageitgey/face_recognition
The world's simplest facial recognition api for Python and the command line
Built on dlib's deep learning models achieving 99.38% accuracy on standard benchmarks, it provides face detection, landmark identification (eyes, nose, mouth, chin), and identity comparison through simple encoding and matching functions. Supports real-time processing via webcam integration and batch processing through both a Python API and dedicated command-line tools (`face_recognition` and `face_detection`) for folder-based recognition workflows.
