Self-Hosted Facial Recognition API

Self-Hosted Facial Recognition API – Python / PHP We need a developer to build a **self-hosted facial recognition system** using available open-source/pre-trained libraries. We do **not** want to use paid services such as Azure Face API, AWS Recognition, Face++ etc. The system should run on our own server and provide a simple **web service/API** which our existing PHP application can call. Main requirements: * Enrol a person using one or more face images * Preferably work even when only **one enrolment image** is available * Recognise an enrolled person from a submitted image * Return Person ID / match result / confidence score * Ideally support multiple faces in one image * Store facial embeddings/templates efficiently * Fast response and suitable for many enrolled users * Simple REST/API interface using POST requests * Provide PHP example code for sending images and receiving JSON response * Full source code and installation instructions You may use suitable technologies such as Python, OpenCV, ONNX, InsightFace/ArcFace, FAISS or other appropriate open-source solutions. We are **not asking to create an AI model completely from scratch**. Using and configuring suitable existing pretrained models/libraries is acceptable. The final solution must operate independently on our server without any mandatory per-image or monthly facial-recognition subscription. When bidding, please briefly mention: 1. Which facial recognition library/model you propose. 2. Whether you have done similar work. 3. Whether it can work with single-photo enrolment. 4. Approximate development time and cost.
