Dear Mr.DEBEIR,

First, thank you for accepting me for the project.

As I said, I want to do face detection. I wanted to create an algorithm able to decide whether a face is on the picture or not. However, I cannot find a single database built for this purpose. I only found datasets made in order to recognize different people, and to find on different pictures whether it is the same person or not. If you think this is affordable for a beginner in this field, I found this dataset : https://www.kaggle.com/jessicali9530/lfw-dataset which regroups 13000 images of faces. However, if you think this is not possible for me to reach the end of the project told before, I can then try to find the faces on a given picture (not only portrait photos) and to detect the area where the face is. If this project, according to you, is more affordable, I then choose this dataset : https://www.kaggle.com/mksaad/wider-face-a-face-detection-benchmark which contains 10000 images of people in different situations and events.

If you think both of the datasets are affordable enough for me, I will then choose the second one with this dataset : https://www.kaggle.com/mksaad/wider-face-a-face-detection-benchmark

I am already registered on the course PROJ-H419. However, I saw that the attendance during the consultation sessions is marked. I intend to attend every session but since I just arrived on the project, will I lose points due to the first sessions you could already have made ?

Thank you for your attention and thank you in advance for your reply,

Sincerely,
