Assuming the input photo is focused on a person's face, if the person is wearing a surgical mask, most face recognition software fail to identify the subject's face.
Most facial landmark models are trained to identify at least the eyes and the tip of the nose (for example, dlib's 5 point landmark).
Is it possible to construct a model that is trained to identify a face based on only the eyes?
Edit: Sorry for my broken english, but by "eyes" I mean the periocular area. I am terribly sorry because english isn't my first language.
