Does face recognition use depth at all?

[Brennon_W_]

Hi,

I am trying to understand how the Face objects are used to perform recognition. From what it looks like, it doesn't use depth at all. Can someone confirm that for me please?

Cheers

You can determine if you want to enable 2D face tracking, which captures only color input data or 3D face tracking, which captures color and depth data. 3D tracking provides better detection and a faster tracking rate than 2D tracking.
