Summary

By now, you should have a good understanding of how face detection and face recognition work and how to implement them in Python and OpenCV 4.

Face detection and face recognition are constantly evolving branches of computer vision, with algorithms being developed continuously, and they will evolve even faster in the near future with a growing interest in robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT).

For now, the accuracy of detection and recognition algorithms heavily depends on the quality of the training data, so make sure you provide your applications with a large number of training images covering a variety of expressions, poses, and lighting conditions.

As human beings, we might be predisposed to think that human faces are particularly recognizable. We might even be overconfident in our own face recognition abilities. However, in computer vision, there is nothing very...
