Face recognition is the verification of a person by a machine using their facial features. It is a type of biometric identifier popularly used to authenticate users and for access control. It uses the physical pattern of the face such as the eyes, lips, etc. to uniquely identify the person and convert it into a unique mathematical equation. Working: Facial recognition works in three steps: detection, analysis and recognition. 1) Detection: The camera detects the face or finds the face in an image that may contain many faces be it in front or side profile using various algorithms and ML. One of the simplest features to detect in a face is the eyes, which are used by these algorithms to find a face. 2) Analysis: The image captured is analyzed. The software basically reads the geometry of our face i.e. distance between eyes, shape of cheekbones, depth of eye sockets, distance between nose and mouth and the contour of our ears, lips, chin etc. Ba...
