FaceSearch: Searches for faces in a given image using the Google Reverse Image Search engine.

Installation

  1. Directly download the latest release from the releases page.

OR 2. First clone this repo. Now, to install the dependencies and create the alias for FaceSearch, run the install.sh.

bash install.sh

Usage

Once it finishes, you can now use the following command on the terminal to detect and search for the faces in any image.

facesearch path/to/Image

Also, note that the path/to/Image can be an internet URL as well! (prefixed with http: or https:) So, you can just drag an image off the internet over the terminal to get its URL pasted over there and search for faces in it using FaceSearch. Really convenient.

Updates

  • 05-08-18: A blog post detailing the implementation and working of FaceSearch is live now. Read it here.
  • 07-08-18: The project report is now ready! You can read it here.
  • 10-08-18: Added support for closing the output window by GUI [x] button.
  • 12-10-18: Thanks to Kaj, fixed an easy-to-miss bug. The script previously used the default system python; but, this caused an issue because of the list.copy() method not being defined in Python 2. Changed the script to explicitly use Python 3 now. Also, added a function in install.sh to remove any redundant aliases defined by the same name facesearch, to prevent problems occured because of running install.sh script multiple times.
  • 18-10-18: Created and released the first release of FaceSearch (v1.0). Now directly downloadable from here.
