Testing OpenCV SFace for Face Embedding Nearest Neighbor Search

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer tested OpenCV Zoo's SFace model to generate 128-dimensional face embeddings and verify nearest neighbor search accuracy. Using Olivetti Faces and LFW datasets, the test checked whether same-person images become the 1-nearest-neighbor and compared cosine similarity between same and different person pairs. The model, licensed under Apache-2.0, outputs embeddings from 112x112 aligned BGR face crops.
