This reposity is based on facenet to extract embeddings and faiss to search for matched image. I thank to contributers/outhors for providing the pre-trained models. this repo would be beneficial for those who have more than 1m+ images. Instead of using 1-to-1 search, which is very expensive for big databases, here we utilize faiss (A library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors) to do 1-to-many search. Having a query image/embedding/ID, we can get the matched image in a few milliseconds (very fast). I also store the embedding, Bounding boxes and image paths to microsoft SQL database, if someone would like to query from database instead of FAISS.

NB: I am currently writing a "How to use" article and will publish it soon under this repo.
