Revision history [back]

Although OpenCV is used for facial recognition, OpenCV itself did not identify faces.

We will learn how together with OpenCV and deep education we can apply to:

1. Detect faces
2. Compute 128-d face embeddings to quantify a face
3. Train a Support Vector Machine (SVM) on top of the embeddings
4. Recognise faces in images and video streams

All these tasks are performed using OpenCV, which allows us to obtain a "pure" face recognition pipeline for OpenCV.
