Privacy-first face-analysis tool iLook emphasizes explainable geometry

This article details the design of iLook, a privacy-focused browser tool for analyzing visible facial geometry in user-provided photos. The system prioritizes clear, understandable reports over identity inference or medical diagnosis, focusing on aspects like face-shape proportions, symmetry, and relative distances. It emphasizes a strict scope, a practical threat model, and an explainable response format that includes confidence levels and limitations, rather than just numeric scores. The design separates the transport layer (REST, OpenAPI) from the analysis model, allowing for flexible client integration and easier testing. AI

    Building a Privacy-First Face-Analysis API with REST, MCP, and A2A

    <p>Teams building image-aware products usually discover the same problem: the demo is easy, but the contract around the demo is not. A useful system has to explain exactly what it measures, what it refuses to infer, how clients can integrate it, and how a result can be inspected …
