The goal was to develop and implement a facial detection and recognition algorithm. Given a database of pictures and IDs, the algorithm must be able to recognize a novel picture:
- The ID is output if the picture contains someone from the database
- "No match" is output if the picture does not contain a person or if the person is not in the database
We finished Top 3 in the first phase of the competiton, and top 5 in the second phase.
