What Hacker News says

4 sources
Summary: OpenFace uses fundamentally different techniques (a deep neural network) for face recognition that OpenBR currently doesn't provide. -- As our initial ROC curve on LFW's similarity benchmark in https://github.com/cmusatyalab/openface/blob/master/images/n... shows, this approach results in slightly improved performance. The best point is an FPR of 0.0 and TPR of 1.0 (top left). You can see today's state-of-the-art private systems in the top left, followed by open source systems, then by historical techniques OpenCV provides like Eigenfaces. The dashed line in the middle shows what randomly guessing would provide. OpenBR is going in a great direction for reproducible and open face recognition. They provide a pipeline for preprocessing and representing faces, as well as doing similarity and classification tasks on the representation

s. The techniques from OpenFace could be integrated into OpenBR's pipeline.
