smahesh29 / OpenCV-Face-and-Eye-Detection

Detects face and eyes of a person from image or webcam using opencv-python.

About Project:

The goal of this project is to detect Faces and Eyes in the images and from webcam. I have used Haar feature-based cascade classifiers which is one of the effective methods of object detection as proposed by Paul Viola and Michael Jones.

The project contains four python files:

1. face_detection_image.py

   This file is used to only detect the face of a person from specified image. I had used Elon Musk image if you wants to use another image then, make changes at line number 5 in code in place of "elon.jpg" use your image name but, make sure that the image should be at same location where the code is saved.

2. face_detection_camera.py

   This file is used to only detect the face of a person from webcam. This code is written for thos who are using inbuilt webcam for those how are using external webcam make some changes in code as the line number 4 is "cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)" make it as cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1) i.e. in place of 0 write 1.

3. face_eye_detection_image.py

   This file is used to detect the face and eyes of a person from specified image. I had used Elon Musk image if you wants to use another image then, make changes at line number 7 in code in place of "elon.jpg" use your image name but, make sure that the image should be at same location where the code is saved.

4. face_eye_detection_camera.py

   This file is used to detect the face and eyes of a person from webcam. This code is written for thos who are using inbuilt webcam for those how are using external webcam make some changes in code as the line number 5 is "cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)" make it as cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1) i.e. in place of 0 write 1.
