This is a very simple face detection and recognition implementation in python. It uses opencv to detect faces and eigenfaces to recognize the faces.
First of all you have to train face recognizer how your face looks like. Then you can test it with demo command.
$ python src/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:
$ python src/main.py demo
- NumPy
- OpenCV 2.4
- matplotlib
- PIL - Python Imaging Library
Big thanks to Antony Ross providing me with the face recognition library and guiding me through it.
