Pornstar.ID's Facial Recognition Beta Now Available

CYBERSPACE — Mike Conrad has launched Pornstar.ID, a “neural network that can identify nearly any adult film star.”

“Pornstar.ID is a face recognition implementation based on a deep neural network,” Conrad said. “The broad workflow is as follows: first, we first detect faces with real-time pose estimation and transform the detected faces in order to make the eyes and bottom lip appear in the same location on each image. In the next step we use our deep neural network to represent the face on a 128-dimensional unit hyper sphere.”

The network, Conrad continued, was trained on upwards of 650,000 faces of more than 7,000 female adult performers.

“We have an accuracy of 70 percent on 1:N and over 99 percent on 1:1 classification,” he said.

Presently, users can upload photos to Pornstar.ID’s website or send a tweet. If the individual is not known, a number of “similar” performers are listed.

“The people behind Pornstar.ID are adult webmasters from the internet’s first days, and therefore we have always been connected and interested in the adult online business,” Conrad added. “Together with the huge steps forward with facial recognition technology in the past few years, and the increasing demand for identification of people in adult movies, the launch of this project was a no-brainer.”

While the system currently only deals with stills, Conrad stressed that the service is being expanded this year.

“In addition, our current private API will be opened to third parties such as tube websites, with video support, for automatic tagging of the adult performers,” he said.
