Monocular API 422 response bug fixed #1

Hey Andrew,

Ryan here from Jemsoft. Just updating to let you know the issue in our API where your image requests were returning a 422 from our API have been resolved. Just spent a few minutes playing with your demo to confirm that it's been updated.

Love the demo! We're working hard to have neural networks as an option for facial recognition. The results on images with skewed, noisy or partially obscured faces will be much more accurate with neural net based detection.

Cheers, Ryan

Cheers!

If you are into neural networks, you should meet my brother (you may have already - he is co-hosting the IEEE machine learning seminar series this year)

This one gets 5/7, so I guess it helps if they are looking at the camera. I need to update the demo to crop or highlight somehow

@pastcompute I'll be sure to keep an eye out for him! I think a few from the team will definitely be attending or possibly getting in touch to present.

Exactly right about circumstances where the algorithm works well or not. When the obvious points of reference in the object are proportionally similar to that of the trained model, the algorithm works really well -- so typically requires the object to be front-facing. Definitely at the top of our todo list to provide neural-net based face detection though.

I believe we return bounding box co-ordinates that can be used to draw a div over the image, highlighting the selected faces?

Your use of wiki commons is also really interesting -- could be a great example for showing a user how to train an algorithm of their choice.
