face-recongnition

Live human-face recognition with OpenCV using Haar Cascade Classifiers; frontal_face dataset and LBPH Algorithm, works with small computing devices.

How to run?

• Run face_add.py to genrate face samples, add id
• Train the sample images using face_train.py
• Run facial recogniton script with facial_recognition.py
• Control confidence/success level in face_recognition when face is detected using LBPH
• Edit/add id names in usr_id_label in facial_recognition.py

Directory

• Face images are stored inside images
• Trained data is located in train>data.yml

Requirement

• OpenCV, install using pip install opencv-contrib-python
