Skypiea Cloud Storage

Skypiea is a cloud storage application that allows users to upload images, detect faces, and manage those images. It includes features for face detection, storing face embeddings, and searching for similar faces.

Features

• File Upload: Upload images to cloud storage.
• Face Detection: Detect faces in uploaded images and save face images separately.
• Face Embeddings: Store face embeddings in a SQLite database to avoid duplicates.
• Search Functionality: Search for images based on face embeddings and display similar results.

Technologies

• Backend: Flask
• Database: SQLite for storing face embeddings
• Face Detection: face_recognition library
• Embeddings Storage: ChromaDB
• Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/skypiea.git
   cd skypiea

2. Create a Virtual Environment and Activate It:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venvScriptsactivate`

3. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Setup Database:

Face Detection and Embeddings

The application uses the face_recognition library to detect faces and compute embeddings. Faces are saved as separate images and their embeddings are stored in a SQLite database to manage duplicates and ensure uniqueness.

Troubleshooting

• Duplicate Faces: Ensure that the threshold in the embedding_exists function is properly set to avoid duplicates.
• Missing Files: Check file paths and ensure that the server has proper access permissions to read/write files.
