Face recognition using FaceNet

Face recognition is an image processing/computer vision task that tries to identify and verify a person based on an image of their face. Face recognition problems can be categorized into two different types:

• Face verification (is this the claimed person?): This is a 1:1 matching problem (for example, a mobile phone that unlocks using a specific face uses face verification).
• Face identification (who is this person?): This is a 1:K matching problem (for example, an employee entering an office can be identified by face identification).

FaceNet is a unified system for face recognition (for both verification and identification). It is sometimes called a Siamese network. It is based on learning a Euclidean embedding ...
