Face verification and face recognition are the two most common names given to the task of comparing a new picture against one person's face. True/False?

This statement is False.

Face verification and face recognition are related tasks in the field of computer vision and biometrics but represent distinct concepts:

1. Face Verification: This task involves determining whether two images represent the same person. It is a binary classification problem where the input is usually two images—one being the new picture and the other being the enrolled image. The system outputs a yes or no answer regarding whether the two images belong to the same individual.

2. Face Recognition: In contrast, face recognition is the process of identifying a person from an image or a video by comparing it against a database of known faces. It involves recognizing whose face is in the image rather than simply verifying if it matches a specific known face.

Thus, while they both involve comparing faces, they serve different purposes and are not interchangeable terms.
