In this session students will be learning about the concept of face detection. They will be able to understand about detecting faces in images, different face detection functions used in pictoblox and how they can implement those functions while writing the program.

Students will be given an introduction to face detection, how face recognition has become one of the most promising applications of computer vision. Face detection can be considered to be a substantial part of face recognition operations. Then, they will be taught how face detection is done and what are pros and cons associated with it. We will guide them about the different face detection functions available in pictoblox and how these functions can be implemented while writing program in Pictoblox python interface. Finally, we will give them a step-by-step guide to prepare a project on face detection in Pictoblox using python.
