This tutorial introduces you to YOLO, one of the most powerful and efficient object detection algorithms in Computer Vision.

You’ll learn how to leverage YOLO in Python for face detection with just a few lines of code.

Whether you’re new to Computer Vision or looking to expand your knowledge, this guide provides a hands-on approach to mastering one of the industry’s leading tools.

Before diving into this tutorial, I recommend checking out my LinkedIn and Medium profiles, where I often discuss these topics. I’ve written about Computer Vision in these two articles: A Gentle Introduction to Computer Vision and Unlock the Power of Computer Vision using Python: 7 Essential OpenCV Features You Need to Know.

I am planning to start a Substack project. So if you’re interested, please consider signing up for my profile. I would be very grateful 🙂

We can define Object Detection as the recognition of one or more objects within an image. In the case of Face Detection, as you can easily imagine, the object the algorithm will try to recognize is one or more faces.

There are many algorithms to perform these tasks, some more heuristic and others more "intelligent"…. Read the full blog for free on Medium.
