Face Recognition Using Siamese Network
A deep learning project that implements face recognition using Siamese Neural Networks with contrastive loss. This project can identify and match faces from images by learning robust face embeddings.
Overview
This project implements a face recognition system using Siamese Neural Networks, which are particularly effective for one-shot learning tasks. The system learns to generate embeddings for face images and can identify whether two face images belong to the same person or different people.
Architecture
The project uses a Siamese Network architecture with the following components:
Siamese Network Structure:
Two identical neural networks that share weights
Each network processes one input image
Outputs face embeddings for comparison
Contrastive Loss:
Measures the similarity between pairs of face embeddings
Minimizes distance for same-person pairs
Maximizes distance for different-person pairs
Key Features
Face detection and cropping using MTCNN
Siamese Network for face embedding generation
Contrastive loss for training
Face database management
Real-time face matching
