## Description

Faceai is a computer vision toolkit designed for facial analysis, identity recognition, and image processing. It provides integrated engines for detecting human faces in static images and live video streams, matching facial encodings against identity databases, and mapping facial landmarks to understand geometric structure and alignment.

The project enables real-time augmented reality applications, such as applying virtual makeup and digital accessories by scaling assets to detected facial coordinates. It also includes a suite for digital image restoration capable of removing noise, erasing watermarks, and colorizing grayscale photographs.

Broad capabilities cover facial attribute analysis for gender prediction and emotion classification, as well as optical character recognition for extracting printed and handwritten text from images. The toolkit also supports object isolation using color-space range masks and provides tools for rendering text and graphical shapes onto image canvases.

The software is implemented in Python and utilizes the OpenCV library for its computer vision pipelines.
