What are the different types of face recognitions the dlib has?


Can i know what are all the face recognitions the dlib has to offer us. This is in the case of face landmarks.


Solution

  • There are many landmark detectors dlib has to offer us. Mostly, The first one is: 68-point landmark detectors: This pre-trained landmark detector identifies 68 points ((x,y) coordinates) in a human face. These points localize the region around the eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, chin and jaw. The second one is:5 point landmark detector: To make things faster than the 68 point detector, dlib introduced the 5 point detector which assigns 2 points for the corners of the left eye, 2 points for the right eye and one point for the nose. This detector is most commonly used for alignment of faces. There is a good article in gfg:Link There is also another link : good explanation with examples.
