Face Recognition using OpenCV Python3

Installation

Install OpenCV

on Ubuntu can use this tutorial from OpenCV Documentation

Install PyQt and PyQt-tools for GUI

Install from terminal

pip3 install --user pyqt5  
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5

How to use

Train with Manual Dataset

Train model with manual dataset on faces-train.py. Using Cascade Classifier which is provide and include from OpenCV4 or the latest OpenCV Version.

Because the model only detect face, so the preTrained file using haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml on haarcascades folder.

To change other detection, make sure to setting label while recognize on faces.py.

Output of faces-train.py is trainner.yml file as model and labels.pickle as labelled dataset, so it can be used for faces.py to recognize.

Use the face recognition file

Run faces.py file on terminal

Using GUI App

run Qt Designer from terminal to edit the GUI.

$ qtchooser -run-tool=designer -qt=5

Note: GUI App can't be used yet. It hasn't finish edited and linked with faces.py
