Neural Network Projects with Python

Requirements of face recognition systems

At this point, you should be fairly familiar with using neural networks for image recognition tasks. In Chapter 4, Cats Versus Dogs – Image Classification Using CNNs, we built a CNN for classifying images of cats versus dogs. Can the same techniques be used in facial recognition? Sadly, CNNs fall short for this task. To understand why, we need to look at the requirements of facial recognition systems.
