In Chapter 2, we successfully set up our development environment, a crucial foundation for any coding journey. Now, it&rsquo;s time to roll up our sleeves and dive into the very first, and arguably most important, steps in face biometrics: <strong>face detection</strong> and <strong>face alignment</strong>.</p> <p>Think of it like this: before you can identify someone by their unique facial features, you first need to <em>find</em> their face in an image or video, and then <em>normalize</em> its appearance so that comparisons are fair and accurate. This chapter will guide you through these fundamental processes using our conceptual <code>uniface</code> toolkit. You&rsquo;ll learn what these steps are, why they are indispensable, and how to implement them practically. By the end, you&rsquo;ll be able to pinpoint faces in images and prepare them for deeper analysis, building confidence with hands-on coding.</p>
