Neural Network Projects with Python

Face recognition

With face detection complete, let's turn our attention to the next step: face recognition. You might have noticed that face detection had nothing to do with neural networks! Face detection using Haar features is an old but reliable algorithm that is still widely used today. However, face detection only extracts the region that contains a face. Our next step would be to perform face recognition using the extracted faces.

Face recognition using neural networks is the main topic in this chapter. For the rest of the chapter, we'll focus on training a neural network for face recognition.
