This is awesome! After running face_recognition in windows this was a breeze to up and running. Thank you for the detailed setup process.

I have a question on how to go about detecting a face belongs to the same person when they are wearing a mask.

For example in face_recognition one can do face_recognition.compare_faces to compare two faces belongs to the same person with certain probability. How can one go about doing the same with a mask on ?

In following example if unknown.jpg is biden with a mask on for instance:

import face_recognition
known_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("biden.jpg")
unknown_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("unknown.jpg")

biden_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(known_image)[0]
unknown_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(unknown_image)[0]

results = face_recognition.compare_faces([biden_encoding], unknown_encoding)
