Face Recognition Brain

Face Recognition Brain is a web application that allows you to detect faces in any image using a machine learning model. You can upload an image or paste a URL of an image, and the app will draw a bounding box around each face in the image. You can also register and sign in to keep track of your entries.

Features

• Face detection using Clarifai API
• User authentication using bcrypt and JWT
• Front-end built with React
• Back-end built with Node.js and Express
• Database built with PostgreSQL
