This post is the sixth post in documenting the steps I went through on my journey to build an autonomous, voice-controlled, face recognizing drone. There are 5 other posts building up to this one which you can find at the end of this post.
Focus of this post
In this post I am going to pick-up where we left off and look at :
How we can make use of the Microsoft Cognitive Services Face API to recognize a specific face. We will explore one of the approaches to doing that which reflects the journey I went through in this blog and the next blog will look at another approach.
This post is the fourth post in documenting the steps I went through on my journey to build an autonomous, voice-controlled, face recognizing drone. There are 4 other posts building up to this one which you can find at the end of this post.
Focus of this post
In this post I am going to pick-up where we left off and cover how you can:
Install the packages you need to access Microsoft Cognitive Services from node.js
Understand some of the capabilities of Microsoft Cognitive Services
Start to see how the face API can be used from node.js
Understand how to use the ImageMagick library (thanks to the tip from Lukas) to annotate the images that come back with the faces in node.js
Adding Intelligence To The Drone
In this part of the project we start to add some intelligence to our drone. We will do that using Microsoft Cognitive Services. There is a great introduction in this YouTube video which I encourage you to take a look at.
For this demo the primary APIs we will use are the Face API and the Speech APIs so I will focus there over the next few posts.
