Face Recognition using RPi and IBM Watson

IBM Watson has come with an intelligent  Visual Recognition API which can identify the objects on the image, human face according to the training sets has been provided which helps us to build our own custom classes without even worrying about the algorithm. Visual Recognition API API provides developers to develop their own application with preferred programming language. Watson Visual Recognition provides API support for JAVA, Node.js, Python and also REST API access. I will walk you through the Watson Visual Recognition API, How to train the API and create custom classifier? How to identify the human faces using the Visual Recognition API? I have developed an python script for capturing the images of a person using Raspberry Pi and picamera and send the images to the Watson API to process the image to recognize the face and provide the scores with matching class. Get started with clicking any 2 image sets of faces with at least 10 images of each faces, and zi
