facial-training-and-recognition

This is a simple python code for facial training and recognition using OpenCV.

Usage

Clone the Repository or Download the zip and extract.
Install all the Requirements by running, pip install -r requirements.txt
First run the capturer.py program to capture the samples of face. The program will ask for the person's name/user, and the sample size (the amount of photos you want to be taken).
Next we need to run the trainer. To do so, we run python faces_train.py Doing so produces a trained model "trainer.yml" and a pickle file containing the id of all the captured people.
After training, we can finally Run the Recognition Program. This makes use of the trained model and predicts the person. To start prediction we run, python face.py
