## What it is
A deep learning face analysis toolkit built on Caffe, implementing face detection, facial keypoint (alignment) detection, and face verification using DeepID-style architectures. It also curates a collection of commonly used face research datasets organized by task.

## Use cases
- detect faces in full-size images with a fully convolutional network
- find facial key points like eyes and nose for alignment
- verify whether two face images belong to the same person
- train face recognition models with DeepID architecture on Caffe
- find face datasets for detection, alignment, and recognition research

## When to choose
- you need reference implementations of classic Caffe-based face detection, alignment, or DeepID verification
- you are studying or reproducing pre-2016 face analysis research
- you want a curated list of face datasets organized by task

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready face recognition system
- you want modern architectures or PyTorch/TensorFlow support
- you need a permissively licensed project (no license is specified)
- you require up-to-date documentation or community support
