Facial detection is a subarea of Computer Vision that aims to detect people’s faces in images or videos. Smartphones and digital cameras use these features to select people in a photo, usually placing a rectangle around the face. This type of application has gained considerable relevance in security systems, in which it is necessary to identify whether there are people in an environment for the alarm to be triggered. On the other hand, facial recognition aims to recognize people’s faces and one example is security systems that can use these features to identify whether or not a person is present in an environment. It is important to highlight the differences between face detection and recognition techniques: while the first only indicates if a face is present, the second indicates whose face is detected.
In this step by step course using Python programming language, you are going to learn how to detect and recognize faces from images, videos and webcam from the most basic to the most advanced techniques!See below the topics that you be covered:
Detection of faces using Haarcascade, HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients), MMOD (Max-Margin Object Detection), and SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector)
Detection of other objects, such as eyes, smiles, clocks, bodies, and cars
Recognition of faces using Eigenfaces, Fisherfaces, LBPH (Local Binary Patterns Histograms), and advanced Deep Learning techniques
How to compare the performance of the algorithms
Build your custom dataset capturing faces via webcam
All implementations will be done step by step using Google Colab online, so you do not need to worry about installing and configuring the tools on your own machine! More than 60 lectures and 8 hours of step by step videos!
