## AI overview

A Python tutorial for building a command-line face-recognition tool that detects faces in images, trains and validates a model, and labels detected faces with bounding boxes.

## Source excerpt

In this tutorial, you'll build your own face recognition command-line tool with Python. You'll learn how to use face detection to identify faces in an image and label them using face recognition. With this knowledge, you can create your own face recognition tool from start to finish!
