Face recognition involves face detection, feature extraction, and classification. This document provides an example code for face detection using OpenCV's haarcascade classifier on an input image. The code loads the classifier, converts the image to grayscale, detects faces, and draws rectangles around the detected faces before displaying the results. While this performs face detection, full face recognition requires more advanced algorithms like CNNs for feature extraction and classification.

Face recognition is a complex process that involves several steps, including face detection, feature
extraction, and classification. There are several libraries available in Python that can be used for face recognition, including OpenCV, Dlib, and Tensorflow. Here is an example code using OpenCV and haarcascade classifier for face detection:
pythonCopy code
import cv2 # Load haarcascade classifier for face detection face_cascade =
cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml') # Load image for face recognition img = cv2.imread('sample_image.jpg') # Convert image to grayscale gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY) # Detect faces in the image faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5) # Draw rectangles around the detected faces for (x, y, w, h) in faces: cv2.rectangle(img, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2) # Display the result cv2.imshow('Face Recognition', img) cv2.waitKey(0) cv2.destroyAllWindows()
In this code, we first load the haarcascade classifier for face detection and then load an image for face recognition. We then convert the image to grayscale and use the detectMultiScale() function to detect faces in the image. This function takes several parameters, including the scale factor and minimum number of neighbors, which can be adjusted to improve face detection accuracy.
Once the faces are detected, we use the rectangle() function to draw rectangles around the detected faces in the original image. Finally, we display the result using the imshow() function and wait for a key press before closing the window.
It is important to note that this code only performs face detection and not full face recognition, which involves more complex algorithms such as feature extraction and classification. Face recognition using deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can achieve high accuracy, but requires more data and computational resources.
