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,
