[Feature] Detect and possibly recognize faces of known people. #24

Description

@Zehen-249

📝 Description

I propose adding a feature that enables users to register and recognize known individuals—such as family members, friends, or caretakers—using face and speech recognition.

This enhancement will allow VisionMate to provide real-time audio feedback like:

“John is in front of you.”

This will be especially useful for visually impaired users to identify people around them and interact with greater confidence.


🎯 Key Functionalities

🧠 Face Recognition Detect

  • Use the InsighFace library to detect faces
  • Possibly multiple faces

Face Recognition

  • Use stored embeddings to check for for similarity in detected faces.

Tests

  • Inlclude test for the funtionality
