Please don’t report me to the authorities for conducting a little frivolous experiment on my son.
There is this nice python package ‘face_recognition’, it can recognize, manipulate faces in pictures and it can calculate distances between faces. What is the distance between my son and me (when I was 9 years old) and how does that compare with other children.
The picture below shows two soccer youth teams, my son and me (35 years ago). I have Chinese roots, so to make it hard for the algorithm I included a Chinese soccer team. I am happy with the results of the experiment. With a distance of 0.601, my son almost had the smallest distance to me of all the 28 faces…..
Try out the face recognition python package for yourself.
