E. AI: Facial Recognition
Instructions (Part I): Carefully view the video below to learn about the development of facial recognition technology and how it is used.
Instructions (Part II): Click here, then click “Try it out” as shown in the in the image below. Then follow along with the video below to experiment with the power of a pre-built face recognition system.
Instructions (Part III): Now that you have followed along with the activities in the above video, click here and explore the additional facial recognition activities in the document. Choose a few that you are curious about and follow the instructions provided.
Instructions (Part V): Using the video above for instructions, imagine, design, and create your own trained facial recognition system. Your goal is to simulate a system that could help match the faces of your classmates with previously existing images. For instance, create 5 different “classes,” each containing 70-100 hypothetical mug shots of different classmates. Train your system using these images, then test its accuracy by having each “suspect” face the webcam. Adjust and retrain your system as needed until you’re satisfied. Finally, export your trained facial recognition system and paste a copy of the link below. In the “Subject” field, type your first name and describe your specific system in the “Write something…” area.
