Face hashing is different than generic image hashing. Methods like dividing the photo into smaller rectangles and storing the average colour for each rectangle won't work.

It should be able to detect and hash facial features so that it can compare it to a future (potentially taken from a different angle) photo of the same person. You need some type of machine learning algorithm.



To me this sounds like you are storing my biometrics without my consent? How else would you distinctly "hash" over 100 million faces?
