Facial Recognition

Python Facial Recognition

This is a Python facial recognition, use Opencv and numpy to collect data, use it but read the instructions first.

Features

• It reads your face by taking multiple photos with Opencv technology and collects all the data in one .npy file to use for facial recognition.
• All in a single file for each person.
• You can save the data of thousands of people.
• Easy implementation to other projects.

Tech

Here you will find out the technologies used:

• Python - All code on python!
• Opencv - Awesome open library, and powerful.
• Numpy - To save data in amazing ways and with good practices.
• Git - The whole Project uses git for version control.

There are few technologies but I think they are necessary for a great solution.

Installation

You will need python 3.8.x (open a virtual environment as good practice and install opencv and numpy).

pip install opencv-python

pip install numpy

How to use

When you have the dependencies installed, remember to put your webcam focusing on your face and in a bright place with no other people.

• Run face-data.py - This begins to analyze your face, you will see numbers printing on the screen, recommended that you leave it up to 40, when you think it is okay press Q.
• Verify on the folder face_dataset have a .npy file with the name you put on face_data.py.
• Run face_recognition.py, A box will appear with the name of the person who detects.
