## Description

This library provides a deep learning framework for identifying human faces and extracting facial landmarks within digital images. It utilizes a multi-task convolutional neural network architecture to simultaneously perform face classification, bounding box regression, and landmark localization.

The system processes images through three sequential stages of neural networks, incorporating image pyramid resizing to detect faces of varying scales. To ensure accuracy, it employs bounding box regression to refine coordinate predictions and non-maximum suppression to filter out redundant overlapping detections.

These tools support the preprocessing of biometric data by standardizing the orientation and positioning of facial features. By aligning landmarks and cropping images, the library prepares visual data for downstream recognition or analysis tasks.
