Isearch (OSINT) 🔎

Face recognition reverse image search on Instagram profile feed photos.

Disclaimer: FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY!

You might encounter (false positive / false negative) results. This because Face recognition uses hog as a model which is fast but low on accuracy, the other model can be 'cnn' which is high on accuracy but very slow (on CPU && fast on GPU)
