Description

Hi,
I tried to build face recognition system using openCv but this lib looks more promising.
I saw an API to extract face encodings of an image which I can use to store it somewhere.

My question is, if I store more face encodings of person A (lets say 5 image encodings) and then I recognize person A by providing stored 5 face encodings.
=> Does it mean that more face-encodings of a person result in more accuray Or this lib can work with just 1 image encoding?

Regards,

Research direction

Review the face-encoding API mentioned in the issue and determine how recognition handles one versus multiple stored encodings for the same person. Confirm the documented behavior and clarify whether additional encodings affect accuracy; the issue is complete when that usage question is answered clearly.
