Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm building a Python-based application that needs to identify people using a webcam feed. I'm frustrated that there's no built-in support for face recognition, which makes it hard to implement real-time identification or tagging features efficiently.
Describe the solution you'd like
I’ve implemented a face recognition system using the face_recognition and cv2 libraries. It loads known images, encodes faces, and compares them against live webcam input. When a match is found, it displays the person’s name and draws a bounding box around their face. I’d like to contribute this as a foundational feature for real-time face recognition.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- OpenCV Haar cascades (less accurate, not suitable for recognition)
- Custom CNN-based face recognition (too complex for current scope)
- Cloud-based APIs (adds latency and privacy concerns)
