Is Google MLKit able to recognize the same face?

Viewed 3085

I'm looking about implementing MLKit face recognition library in my Android App. The only thing that I can't understand is if it's possible and how can I compare two photos and detect if they are the same person. I've read these guides:

Thanks

ML Kit detects face contours, but does not recognize faces. So it can't determine whether two detected faces are of the same person.

MLKit is not able to, and this seems to be a feature that is many years away from MLKit. You'd have to use face recognition, and there are solution for on-device and in the cloud.

The best repo I found for on-device face recognition, primarily because it is unsupervised (it doesn't require users to have trained data (labels for each person to be detected)): https://github.com/njordsir/Clustering-faces-android
