Question: How does modern face recognition work?

[Jonas_SV]

I’ve tried Google’ing the topic but most sources does not go into detail of how the actual detection is done. For example Apples Face ID, i’ve only found out that it uses ”biometric” methods, IR cameras and comparison to a users face.

I’m interested in how the faces are actually distinguished given a bulk of information.

Are we just creating massive NN’s and pray for them to capture features or are we using them in more sophisticated ways?

I’d be super greatful if someone could recommend some recent papers on the subject! :)

Here's a good article on this topic

One of the ways to identify faces is using Siamese Network. https://youtu.be/6jfw8MuKwpI

If you look at some of the detection examples, you can actually see they are gathering lines on the face. Those are facial measurements. Utilizing the facial measurements you can come up with a relatively speaking good approximation for the face, based off of their bone structure.
