Face-Detect

Simple program written in python for face detection using OpenCV

We will be using haar cascade classifier .

Can read more about it at http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d7/d8b/tutorial_py_face_detection.html

How to run it ?

1. Open a terminal in the directory of this repo
2. Run  python face_detect.py
