### Other implementation
[C++ & caffe ](https://github.com/happynear/MTCNN_face_detection_alignment) (strongly recommend)<br>
[Python & mxnet](https://github.com/pangyupo/mxnet_mtcnn_face_detection)<br>
[Python & caffe](https://github.com/DuinoDu/mtcnn)

### Face Recognition 
Here we strongly recommend [Center Face](https://github.com/ydwen/caffe-face), which is an effective and efficient open-source tool for face recognition.
