Here is a sample outline for what a project about facial recognition algorithms might look like.
- Investigation phase:
What is automated facial recognition? How does it work? What does a computer do to look at two different photos of someone and determine if they are the same person? What algorithms are in use? How successful are these algorithms? Where is facial recognition used?
- Problem posing:
What factors affect the success of automated facial recognition? How efficient are these algorithms? What are the problems with these algorithms?
- Experiment
- Share results
