It is one of the many wonders that AI research has brought forward to the world. A technology capable of verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. Generally, it works by comparing selected facial attributes from given image with faces within a database (img/unknown).
Python provides a simple face_recognition command line tool that allows us to do face recognition on a folder of images. Before installing the library we need dlib library pre-installed.
The following command will install the tool.
The library works in three simple steps :
• Identify a face in a given image
• Identify specific features in the face
• Compare it with the unknown images
• If found , it generates a face encoding vector of 128 values
-- based on this encoding, we can measure the similarity between two face images that can tell us if they belong to the same person.
