Facial Recognition Using Neural Networks over GPGPU

Facial Recognition Using Neural Networks over GPGPU

This article introduces a parallel neural network approach implemented over Graphic Processing Units (GPU) to solve a facial recognition problem, which consists in deciding where the face of a person in a certain image is pointing. The proposed method uses the parallel capabilities of GPU in...
