Research project about determining similarities between human faces by using a neural network. It is a student project.

I have used IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition (which is under the Apache license: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html) as an IDE to create this project.

• deeplearning4j (Maven: org.deeplearning4j:deeplearning4j-core and org.deeplearning4j:deeplearning4j-ui_2.10: used for creating a neural network model
• nd4j (Maven: org.nd4j:nd4j-native or org.nd4j:nd4j-cuda-*; see CUDA): a dependency of deeplearning4j
• webcam-capture written by Bartosz Firyn and contributors (Maven: com.github.sarxos:webcam-capture): used for accessing a computer webcam
• OpenCV: used for detecting (NOT recognising) human faces in pictures, along with the haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml resource

• deeplearning4j: 0.7.2
• nd4j: 0.7.2
• webcam-capture: 0.3.11
• OpenCV: 3.2.0

If you want to use this source code, you'll need to build and put OpenCV to the project as a library. Version 3.2.0 is recommended. One of the tutorials how to do it is located at https://medium.com/@aadimator/how-to-set-up-opencv-in-intellij-idea-6eb103c1d45c (accessed on 22 April 2017).

• A computer with a webcam
• Java
• Libraries mentioned in "Libraries used"

By default, a CPU does all necessary computation related to the project. However, it is possible to use a CUDA-supported graphic card instead. This may increase the speed dramatically and is highly recommended.

To enable this option, change one of the Maven dependencies: nd4j-native to nd4j-cuda-*. * must be replaced by an appropriate version of CUDA you have installed in your device (e.g. 8.0).

All details are included inside the source code.
