I signed up for your beta. What features do you plan on offering? Even if you give your code away for free, I bet you could charge some money for access to an easy to use REST API for whatever you come up with.
- sabalaba 14y agoIt's going to be a freemium model--unlike Face.com which didn't even have a paid option. I think there could be some advantages to having an openly developed algorithm in the background, mainly so you could embed the project where a REST API would be unwieldy (low bandwidth / low connectivity environments).
- thechut 14y agoThat sounds good, I think freemium is the way to go. When I first found face.com I thought to myself that I would have no problem paying for their service. I am definitely interested in your project. And I think developing in the open will be hugely helpful. For my purposes though the REST API is what's more useful since my problem is not connectivity or bandwidth but processing power. Right now my software is running on a Raspberry Pi which can just barely run motion for capturing the pictures, I would need a real computer to run a full OpenCV install. That is why the face.com API suited my needs so well. Are you planning on offering facial recognition along with the face detection or just focusing on face detection for now?
