Face Detection
Explore the fundamentals of face detection using the MediaPipe library in Python. Learn how to localize faces in digital images, identify key facial features, and extract regions of interest. This lesson equips you with the skills to implement efficient and accurate face detection, essential for face recognition, analysis, and tracking applications.
Introduction
Face detection is a computer technology that allows us to do the following:
- Localize faces within a digital image.
- Identify key facial features of the particular faces and get their respective coordinates.
- Diagnose the contours of detected faces.
Face detection is generally thought of as the point of departure toward other face-related technologies like face recognition or faceprint generation.
Important applications of face detection
A growing number of applications leverage the capabilities of this technology, including the following:
-
Crowd surveillance monitors crowded public or private areas or count the number of people who entered a specific zone.
-
Photography automatically focuses and optimizes exposure in digital cameras.
-
