Real Time face recognition using OpenCV

Primary LanguagePython

Real-Time-Face-Recognition (OpenCV)

Create a fast real-time face recognition app with few lines of python code.

Steps:

cmd: python face_taker.py

  1. Take pictures using the face_taker.py script. The script will save 30 images of your face in the images folder after you entered the ID number (MUST be integer and incremental (starts with 1 then 2, 3, ...) Note: Make sure your face is centered. The window will collapse when all the 30 pictures are taken.

cmd: python face_train.py

  1. The face_tain.py script will train a model to recognize all the faces from the 30 images taken using face_taker.py script, and save the training output in the training.yml file.

cmd: python face_recognizer.py

  1. The face_recognizer.py is the main script. You need to append the name of each person with the picture taken in the face_taker.py script. The program will recognize the face according to the id given in the face_taker.py script. If Joe has an id 1, his name should appear in the list as index 1 like such names = ['None', 'Joe'] # keep None and append a name into this list

Requirements:

  • pip install opencv-python
  • pip install opencv-contrib-python --upgrade or pip install opencv-contrib-python --user.
