• Tech Stack - Python, ML(KNN), OpenCV

• It is written completely in Python 3.6.

To run this program you need the following things installed -

1. OpenCV 3+ (pip3 installed opencv-python)
2. NumPy (pip3 install numpy)
3. You will also need to have the harcascade frontal face classifier(included here).
