🔄 Face Recognition Process

Step Description Technology
1. Face Detection Locate and isolate faces in the image OpenCV / HOG detector
2. Face Alignment Normalize face position and orientation dlib
3. Feature Extraction Extract 128-dimensional face encoding face_recognition
4. Database Matching Compare encoding with stored profiles Django ORM / NumPy
5. Profile Retrieval Fetch matching profile information Django

🔐 Privacy & Security

InstaProfile takes privacy seriously. Our implementation includes:

  • Opt-in only: Users must explicitly consent to facial recognition
  • Data encryption: All facial encodings are encrypted at rest
  • Limited data storage: Only facial encodings are stored, not raw images
  • Deletion options: Users can delete their facial data at any time
  • Access controls: Strict permission system for profile access
