Product designers use this technology in every sphere &#8211; transportation, health, and marketing. For example &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/netmaxims.com\/blog\/how-do-brands-benefit-from-ar-filters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brands use AR filters<\/a> on social media as well as on their <a href=\"https:\/\/netmaxims.com\/blog\/e-commerce-step-by-step-website-guide-the-perusal-of-a-distinct-online-store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">e-commerce websites<\/a> to drive engagement and help customers make more informed decisions. Under the hood, AI-based Facial Recognition systems give life such AR filters.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, I will list some good facial recognition apps to make you aware of the different contexts in which this technology is used. Then, brainstorm your unique ideas, and make useful and fun mobile applications.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table_content\">\n<p><b>Table of contents<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>1. <\/b><a href=\"#Luxand\">Luxand<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>2. <\/b><a href=\"#Clearview\">Clearview<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>3. <\/b><a href=\"#FaceApp\">FaceApp<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>4. <\/b><a href=\"#IObit\">IObit Applock<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>5. <\/b><a href=\"#Face2Gene\">Face2Gene<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>6. <\/b><a href=\"#FacePhi\">FacePhi<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>7. <\/b><a href=\"#Timeless\">Timeless.Care<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>8. <\/b><a href=\"#Nauto\">Nauto<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Luxand\"><\/span>1.

They have created many fun face recognition apps for the mass audience-YouMask Beards, Age-O-Meter, BabyMaker, LiveFacialFeatures, etc. These apps use facial recognition algorithms to augment a virtual beard, tell your age, make a baby face using a parent&#8217;s picture, or display facial features.<\/p>\n<p>Luxand offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxand.com\/facesdk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FaceSDK<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/netmaxims.com\/blog\/cross-platform-mobile-app-development-frameworks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cross-platform library &#038; framework<\/a> for building face recognition software. The SDK provides APIs to detect facial expressions, faces on multiple images, videos, and thermal images, recognize faces with masks, support IP (Internet Protocol), cameras, etc. It also includes a Track API, through which faces can be identified in videos as well. Some of the APIs are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avatar API<\/li>\n<li>E-cards API<\/li>\n<li>Baby Prediction API<\/li>\n<li>Face Aging API<\/li>\n<li>Zombie API<\/li>\n<li>Face Enhancement API<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can start with the free trial and get a quote for the paid version.

Its AI system is trained on a gigantic database. However, this is quite controversial as the company used almost 3 billion photos from the web and social media without people&#8217;s consent. More worrisome was that law enforcement agencies were using this potent neural network even when the policy states that no unsupervised repository can be used as a reference for any facial recognition software.<\/p>\n<p>Though Federal, State &amp; Local authorities have many successful stories of how Clearview&#8217;s advanced technology reduced their investigation time and helped them crack down on criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Some of its features that are helpful for commercial use are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bias-free algorithm.<\/li>\n<li>Algorithms are tested by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).<\/li>\n<li>Its algorithm ranked top in the US and western countries among 650 algorithms.<\/li>\n<li>Provides accurate results on low-quality images and detects faces covered with masks.<\/li>\n<li>It is affordable and has straightforward pricing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Like<\/h4>\n<p>&#8211; Accuracy, Bias-free facial recognition software.<\/p>\n<h4>Dislike<\/h4>\n<p>&#8211; Obscurity over the vast <span id=\"FaceApp\"><\/span>database and connections with law enforcement.<br \/>\n<span id=\"FaceApp\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_FaceApp\"><\/span>3.

Almost 500 million+ people have used FaceApp, and both App Store and Google Play Store awarded it as the Top App in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>But all the pro features are not free.
