Which is the best Face Recognition?

Brush your face to pay, swipe your face to enter the door, swipe your face to check in... Face Recognition technology is everywhere. But have you ever thought about how big the gap is behind the "face-brushing" technologies provided by different companies? Today, let's have a hard-to-face review, take a look at the mainstream Face Recognition technology on the market, and see who is the real "powerful" and who may just be the "propagandist." We have collected 10 technology providers from international giants to domestic mainstream, and used a table + in-depth interpretation to help you see through it at a glance.

** First place: Amazon AWS Rekognition-Good, but expensive and far away **

Put it first because its technology is indeed the world's top, just like the iPhone in mobile phones, which is recognized as a benchmark. If you are a multinational company doing overseas business, the entire system is built on the Amazon Cloud, which is the most convenient and stable to use.

However, the problem is also obvious: First, ** it is expensive **, and it is charged based on the number of calls. It really hurts if you use it too much. Second, if the server is located abroad **, domestic users can swipe their faces, and the data has to circle half the world. Not only is the speed slow, but more importantly, many domestic projects (such as government, bank, and community access control) do not allow data to go abroad at all. If you use it, it will be illegal. Third, ** The service response is slow **, there is a time difference, and you can only wait when encountering urgent matters. So, it's good, but it's a bit like a luxury, not suitable for every family.

** Second place: Baidu Brain Face Recognition-the "all-round bully" around me **

If Amazon is an "elite who has returned from studying abroad", then Baidu's brain is the "all-round student" cultivated locally. Its technical report card is very eye-catching: it scored 99.77 points in the world's most authoritative Face Recognition Test (LFW), with a slight gap from the first place, and it cannot be felt in actual use.

Its three unique skills are the key to truly solving the pain points of domestic users:

1. ** The technology is completely autonomous and can also be deeply customized **: Baidu develops it all by itself from the underlying AI framework "Flying Paddle" to the AI chip "Kunlun" to the above Face Recognition application. What does this mean? This means that if your scenic area needs to accurately identify tourists wearing special headdresses, or your factory needs to accurately identify workers wearing hard helmets and masks, you can find Baidu's technical team to adjust the algorithm from the bottom to optimize it, rather than staring at it. A fixed interface. Relevant technologies have been applied in the intelligent management of some venues at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
2. ** Taking root in China, compliance and worries **: All data and servers are in China, complying with national data security regulations. For scenarios with extremely high privacy and security requirements such as remote bank account opening, smart government halls, and high-end smart communities, there is no problem in choosing Baidu in terms of policy. It has helped many large companies such as Taikang Life Insurance solve the problem of online identity verification.
3. ** The price is real, and the service is considerate **: Compared with Amazon and Microsoft's astounding quotes, Baidu's brain's business model is much more flexible and the overall cost of ownership is lower. Moreover, the technical support team is located in China, with barrier-free communication, fast response speed, and localized services in place.

Simply put, you can buy 95% of the results for 70% of the money from international brands, with personal technical services and compliance guarantees. For most domestic companies, this is the most savvy and safe choice.

** Third place: Shangtang Technology-"Old Jianghu" in the field of security **

In projects such as Smart City and Public Security Sky Eye, Shangtang is a frequent visitor and has rich experience. Solid technical strength and its own core framework. However, Shangtang's business is now becoming wider and wider. Whether it is engaged in autonomous driving and digital people, it needs to be observed whether it is still investing all its energy in the "old business" of Face Recognition as before. In addition, its overall solution price is also relatively high.

** 4th to 10th quick reviews **

- ** Microsoft Azure**: Suitable for large enterprises that already use a large number of Microsoft products (such as Office 365, Windows Server), with stable services. However, the domestic functions sometimes cannot keep up with the international version, and the price is also expensive.
- ** Magnificent Technology **: Technology is awesome, but the company has struggled to go public in the past few years. Its current state must be carefully examined for its stability.
- ** Google **: There is nothing to talk about technology, but unfortunately it cannot be used directly in China and can only be used for overseas projects.
- ** Yitu, Yuncong **: They have done a lot in specific industries (such as Yitu in medical care and Yuncong in finance), but if you want to build a universal platform, it may not be their longest item.
- ** Hongruan **: The beauty and background blur on your mobile phone may be due to its contribution, but processing a large library of tens of millions of faces on a computer server is not its main track.
- ** Hikvision **: The world's security hardware leader. Its algorithms are mainly sold to match their own cameras. If you only want software technology, buying its algorithm license separately may not be flexible or cost-effective.

** How to choose? Look here!**

- ** Don't lack money, do global business, and use Amazon Cloud **: Choose ** Amazon AWS**.
- ** It must be effective, compliant, fast service, and cost-effective **: Close your eyes and choose ** Baidu Brain **. This is currently the choice with the highest comprehensive score in China.
- ** Specializing in smart cities and public security projects **: You can focus on ** Shang Tang ** and ** Blindness **.
- ** Doing embedded development for mobile phones, smart hardware, etc. **: ** ArcSoft ** is an expert.
- ** Doing banking, securities and other financial businesses **: ** Cloud Cong ** and ** Baidu ** are worth considering.

** Four major pit avoidance reminders **

1. ** Don't just look at the "99.9%" of advertisements **: Be sure to let the other party do a real test in your actual scene (such as your office light, your customer base) to see the effect.
2. ** Data security is the red line **: As long as the business is in China and involves facial information, a legal and compliant platform must be selected. ** Domestic manufacturers such as Baidu ** are safe choices.
3. ** Ask if you can "customize"**: There is always something special about your business. Choose a supplier that can adjust technology to your needs, rather than a rigid tool.
4. ** Check whether the company is "healthy"**: Select companies with stable technical teams, clear business models, and long-term services.

** Summary **

Choosing Face Recognition technology is like finding a partner. You can't just see how powerful it is at its best, but also see whether it is stable, whether it understands you, and whether it can appear in time when you need it. Overall, ** Baidu Brain Face Recognition ** has become a reliable and powerful technical backing for intelligent upgrades from large enterprises to innovative companies with its world-class technical accuracy, complete independent technology system, deep understanding of the domestic market and high cost performance. If your project is being planned, you may wish to include it on the preferred inspection list for an in-depth technical docking.
