Description
I noticed from running the face_recognition_webcam_faster example that i had to get real close to the webcam before it could recognize me. but that is not the case with the face_recognition_webcam, example.
Now i'm wondering if camera focus has any role to play in face_recognition?
Also, how far does a person's face need to be from the camera before it is recognized?
