- Description
- The face file type is associated with the Usenix FaceServer, a software tool designed for the management and distribution of digital images of faces. Originally developed for use in UNIX systems, it serves as a database for storing and retrieving facial images, often used in academic and research settings. The face file typically contains the digital image data of a person's face, along with metadata such as identification and attributes. This format is specifically tailored for applications requiring facial recognition and categorization, playing a crucial role in studies related to computer vision and human-computer interaction.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
