Detecting Facial Features Using Deep Learning

Maybe you were wondering how you can place funny objects on faces in real-time video chats or detect emotions? I'll show you one possible approach here utilizing deep learning as well as skim over one older approach. A challenging task in the past was detection of faces and their features like eyes, nose, mouth and even deriving emotions from their shapes. This task can be now "magically" solved by deep learning and any talented teenager can do it in a few hours. I will show you such an approach in this post.
