What is face detection?
- [Instructor] Face detection is the ability to detect and locate human faces in a photograph. Face detection is the first step in face recognition. Before we can identify a person's face, we need to be able to locate it in the photograph. If you've used a camera recently, you might have seen face detection in action. Face detection is a great feature for cameras. When the camera can automatically pick out faces in a picture, it can make sure that all the faces are in focus before it takes the picture. But we'll use face detection for a different purpose. We'll use it to extract each face from the photograph and pass it to the next step in our face recognition pipeline. The easiest way to locate objects in an image is to build a sliding window classifier. It has two steps. The first step, we'll build a simple face detection model using a machine learning model. All this model can do is look at a small image and tell if it's a face or not. The second step is to slide the simple face…
