Could you build this?
No Reverse facial search engines like PimEyes require massive web-scale scraping of billions of faces, computing high-dimensional facial vector embeddings, and running millisecond similarity searches over billions of vectors. This necessitates millions of dollars in compute, specialized web crawlers capable of evading anti-bot protections, and distributed vector database architectures.
What it would actually take: Requires an infrastructure crawling billions of public web pages (distributed crawlers, proxy pools, headless browsers) extracting and cropping faces using MTCNN/RetinaFace, encoding them with ArcFace into dense vectors, and querying a massive distributed vector index (Milvus/ScaNN/FAISS). The bottleneck is Petabyte-scale crawling bandwidth, storage, and billion-scale ANN vector indexing. Requires large-scale distributed systems and computer vision infrastructure engineering.
