A deep learning-based CBIR system for face recognition using **CNNs**, **VGG16**, and **FaceNet**, optimized for celebrity face retrieval and classification.

**Full, Detailed report and walkthrough is available in Report.pdf**

## 📁 Dataset

**Source:** [Celebrity Face Dataset (Kaggle)](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/vasukipatel/face-recognition-dataset)  

**Structure:**  

- 31 celebrity folders (e.g., `Henry Cavill`, `Natalie Portman`)  

- 50–150 images per class (varied poses/lighting)  

- Cropped faces using MTCNN for focus  

## 🛠️ Methodology

### 1. **Custom CNN**

- **Architecture:**  

  `Conv2D → MaxPooling → BatchNorm → Dropout → Dense`  

- **Training:**  

  - 3 classes (Henry Cavill, Natalie Portman, Robert Downey Jr.)  

  - 30 epochs, Adam optimizer  

  - **Accuracy:** 81.48% (test set)  

### 2. **VGG16 Transfer Learning**

- **Preprocessing:** Data augmentation (rotation, flip, brightness)  

- **Fine-tuning:**  

  - Frozen base layers + custom dense layers  

  - **Accuracy:** 92.59% (test set)  

- **Limitation:** Overconfidence in misclassifications  

### 3. **FaceNet + SVM**

- **Embeddings:** 128D face features extracted via FaceNet  

- **Classifier:** SVM with linear kernel  

- **Accuracy:** **99.63%** (test set)  

- **Key Advantage:** Robust to pose/lighting variations
