A Go library that provides face recognition by wrapping dlib's machine learning models, including face detection, landmark prediction, and 128-dimensional face descriptor extraction. It requires external dlib and libjpeg development libraries plus pre-trained model files.

Use cases

  • recognize faces in photos from Go
  • detect and locate faces in images
  • compare two face images for identity match
  • cluster photos by person
  • build a face login system in Go

When to choose

  • you need face recognition in a Go application
  • you want dlib's proven ResNet face models with a Go API
  • you can install native dlib dependencies

When to avoid

  • you need a pure-Go solution without native dependencies
  • you need state-of-the-art accuracy from newer deep learning models
  • your platform can't build dlib
