An art gallery wants to create an interactive exhibit where visitors can learn about the artists by having their faces scanned. The system needs to recognize if a visitor is a known artist (whose images are stored in a database) and retrieve their biography. Which computer vision capability is required for this specific identification task?
- AFace Detection
- BFace Recognition
- CImage Classification
- DObject Detection
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Face Recognition
Face Recognition is the specific capability needed because it goes beyond merely detecting a face; it identifies *who* the person is by comparing the detected face to a database of known individuals (artists, in this case).
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Face Detection only identifies the presence and location of a face, not the identity of the person.
- C. Image Classification assigns a single label to an entire image, not individual identities.
- D. Object Detection identifies and locates general objects, not specific human identities.
Face Recognition
A technology capable of identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame.
- Compares detected faces against a database of known faces.
- Requires a 'face print' or 'template' for each individual.
- Used for security, access control, and personalized experiences.
Memory trick: To recognize a face, you need Face Recognition.
