Face Recognition

Facial Recognition is the task of making a positive identification of a face in a photo or video image against a pre-existing database of faces. It begins with detection - distinguishing human faces from other objects in the image - and then works on identification of those detected faces.

The state of the art tables for this task are contained mainly in the consistent parts of the task : the face verification and face identification tasks.
