Python face-recognition using open-cv + machine learning

• This is a simple python face recogniton which can detect multiple faces at the same time.
• Based on open-cv and sklearn library this is a program that detects face and display name on the window.
• It has the ability to add a new face to detect. Simply type 'yes' while running the program

How to run:

NOTE: If you have Anaconda installed then open "conda prompt". Then:

• type "pip install opencv-python" instead of "pip install -r requirements.txt"

NOTE2: For linux users make sure you run program with "python3" instead of simply python and "pip3" instead of pip.

Steps

• download all the files to a folder
• open command prompt as administrator
• change directory to that folder (cd directory-full-path)
• pip install -r requirements.txt (it will install all the required modules)
• (for linux use sudo pip install -r requirements.txt)
• run RecogniseFace.py
• follow instructions
• Note: To create dataset press 'c'
• finally press 'Esc' to exit from the window
