This my first project in Computer Vision. What started as a simple interest in machine learning, led me to explore many fascinating topics such as language processing, image processing etc. Once I decided to study a little about image processing, I learned more about deep learning models, computer vision and the different applications of simple programs such as facial recognition or object recognition. This is my attempt at a simple facial recognition program, created using openCV.
This is the format of the files contained within this repository.
- Facial Recognition -
- face-recognition-mytake.py
- haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml
- haarcascade_eye.xml
- tempCodeRunnerFile.py
- OpenCV (cv2)
- Python 3.6 or later versions
This is a relatively simple project to create and run on your system. Follow the steps given below:
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-username/facial-recognition-basic.git cd facial-recognition-basic - Install Dependencies
pip install opencv-python
- Run the Program
python face-recognition-mytake.py
After running the file, you should be able to see yourself in your webcam, with pink and purple rectangles on your face, detecting your face and eyes.
Press the 'q' key to exit the webcam.
