A Face recognition system using OpenCV and Python

Face Recognition using Python, OpenCV, and face_recognition

Overview

This project demonstrates how to perform face recognition using Python, OpenCV, and the face_recognition library. Face recognition is a popular computer vision task that involves identifying and verifying faces in images.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed before running the code:

• Python (version 3.6 or higher)
• OpenCV (pip install opencv-python)
• face_recognition (pip install face_recognition)

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/prasanna-ezhilmurugan/face-recognition-system.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd face-recognition-system

3. Run the face_recognition.ipynb script:

   python face_recognition.ipynb

Usage

• Add images of the faces you want to recognize in the images folder.
• Make sure each image has only one face.
• Run the face_recognition.ipynb script.

The script will identify and mark the recognized faces in the input images.

Configuration

• You can customize the tolerance parameter in the face_recognition.ipynb script to adjust the face recognition sensitivity.
• Explore the images folder for adding or removing images of faces for recognition.
