Deep Face Detection with MediaPipe in Python

In this video, we explore face detection using the Mediapipe library in Python. The library uses a deep learning-based SSD (Single Shot Multibox Detector) model to accurately detect faces in images and videos. In addition to face detection, the Mediapipe library in Python also provides facial landmarks such as the locations of the eyes, nose, ears and mouth. These landmarks can be used to align faces in facial recognition applications, improving the accuracy of face recognition. We walk through the code step-by-step, showing how to load images or video files and process them with the Mediapipe library. We also discuss the various parameters and options available to fine-tune the face detection process. By the end of the video, you'll have a solid understanding of how to use the Mediapipe library to detect faces in your own projects.

Dear Sefik your tutorials are great I enjoy them every time, and I really appreciate it if you do a tutorail for audio fingerprint (voice recognition)

Nice video! I suppose u can use the facial landmarks for comparing if face a is face b right? Or do you need the faces mesh landmarks?

What’s the website that you put code in that says Jupyter

Hi Sefik i'd like to ask that i cant finde the.face_detection module part i mean everything okay until i write facedet = mediapipe.solutions.face_detection, there is no module in mediapipe for this i mean really the .face_detection is not existing what can i do i am using python on windows and vs code

Merhabalar, öncelikle paylaşımınız için çok teşekkürler, çok ufuk açıcı oldu bizim için. Celebrity twin makelenize de baktık. Aklımıza şöyle bir soru takıldı. 150bin resmin matriksini çıkardık, api'dan gelen resim'e bu 150.000 tane matriksle kıyaslama yapacağız. Ama bu 150 bin matriksi nerede tutmak mantıklı, bir dataframe'de mi ve çok sürer mi sizce? (Server Ozellikleri : 4cpu, 16gm ram)
