This is a very simple face detection and recognition implementation in python. It uses opencv to detect faces and eigenfaces to recognize the faces.
Install dependecies:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
First of all you have to train face recognizer how your face looks like. Then you can test it with demo command.
$ python3 facerecognition/main.py train
This command will take 10 pictures using your webcam. Press any key after every shot to take a new one.
To test face recognition use the demo that captures view from your webcam and recognizes faces in realtime:
$ python3 facerecognition/main.py demo
- NumPy
- OpenCV 3
- matplotlib
- PIL - Python Imaging Library
- Python 3
Big thanks to Antony Ross providing me with the face recognition library and guiding me through it.
