Course Overview

Face recognition has rapidly grown into one of the most influential applications of computer vision, transforming sectors from security and surveillance to healthcare and entertainment. This course offers a hands-on introduction to face recognition using Python, equipping learners with practical skills to build intelligent systems that can detect, analyze, and recognize faces in real time. With the increasing importance of biometric authentication, learning these tools is essential for anyone looking to explore artificial intelligence or enhance their machine learning projects.

This course begins with an introduction to face recognition and walks learners through setting up the development environment using Anaconda, resolving DLib-related setup issues, and reviewing Python basics such as functions, data structures, and flow control. It then dives into facial detection and recognition, covering implementation from images, videos, and live webcam feeds. Learners will explore real-time facial expression detection, age and gender prediction, and advanced topics like face landmarks, distance metrics, and facial makeup simulations—all through intuitive and structured hands-on examples.

By the end, learners will confidently implement face recognition and analysis applications in Python using OpenCV, DLib, and deep learning, with real-time and image-based solutions ready for integration.
