Real time face recognizer built using python(opencv)

face_taker.py

1. Take pictures using the face_taker.py script. After you enter the ID number, the script will save 30 images of your face in the images folder. The ID number represents a single face. The ID MUST be an integer and incremental starting with 1, then 2, 3, ... Note: Make sure your face is centered. The window will collapse when all the 30 pictures are taken.

face_train.py

2. The face_tain.py script will train a model to recognize all the faces from the 30 images taken using face_taker.py and save the training output in the training.yml file.

face_recognizer.py

3. The face_recognizer.py is the main script. You need to append each person's name in the index equal to the ID provided in face_taker.py script. The program will recognize the face according to the ID. i.e., If Joe has an id 1, his name should appear in the list as index 1 like such:

names = ['None', 'Joe']. # Don't remove the None
