CHAPTER 4 Deep Face Recognition

Face recognition is probably the most exciting and prominent application of deep learning applied in the domain of visual computing. It not only can showcase the power of deep learning but also point out some of the concerns of using a methodology whereby a black-box approach is utilised for solving problems whose solution has real-life consequences.

Computer-based face recognition is still riddled with many challenges compared to the face recognition ability of humans. For a human, seeing someone for a brief moment is usually enough to learn about the face. This is because the brain memorises important details relating to the person. As a matter of fact, it is thought that when a familiar face is presented within ...
