The challenge

DIVO Global's flagship feature needed face recognition with high accuracy on faces, emotion, gender and ethnicity, able to find look-alikes at scale.

The service had to hold up under high load with millions of stored faces.

How we solved it

Built an advanced recognition service on InsightFace, OpenCV and several in-house models, matching a face against millions of others in under a second.

Built an admin and management app plus an analytics dashboard for usage and requests.

Challenges our team resolved

The hard engineering behind the result.

Reaching sub-second search across millions of faces without sacrificing accuracy.

Handling the diversity of real fashion photography rather than lab-quality images.
