Play3rZer0 / FaceDetectWebcam

This uses face detection with webcam.

FaceDetectWebcam

This allows face detection with computer webcam (desktop or laptop). Developed using Python 3.6 and OpenCV 4.0. This program detects faces in real-time video.

This project uses the Viola-Jones Object Detection Framework with Haar Cascade Classifiers. The algorithm only detects faces, and does not perform recognition of any sort.

The project consists of 3 files:

1. facedetect_web.py - File containing the Python source code.
2. haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml - The Haar Cascade Classifier file.
3. sample_facedetect.jpg - A sample screenshot of how face detection works.
