On: Show HN: I turned my face rec system into a video ...

Nice work, but you might find it's not super unique - video codec people have been thinking about how to apply face recognition ML tech to this use case for 5+ years.

For instance, have you seen https://developer.nvidia.com/maxine ? They released some pretty nice demos 2 years ago.

Their approach is more heavy-weight as it uses GANs (IIRC) to dream up a reconstruction of your face. They need GPU VMs in the cloud, whereas mine runs on device.

This IS the killer feature.

Now make a face recog PI (as you stated you tried) -- or a cheap Android Phone which best serves HW(gpu) for your needs and you have solved some complex surveillance matters.

I'm not sure if the original post is the same as this: https://developer.nvidia.com/ai-video-compression

As maxime can do more like live translation.
