A fast and accurate face detection with OpenCV using a pre-trained deep learning face detector model shipped with the library. Two files are required for using OpenCV's deep neural network module with Caffe models.
- The .prototxt file (define the model architecture i.e., the layers themselves)
- The .caffemodel file (which contains the weights for the actual layers)
You can find Caffe-based face detector prototxt files in the face_detector sub-directory of the dnn samples.
How to use
git clone https://github.com/aakashjhawar/face-detection.git
cd face-detection
To detect face from photos:
python3 detect_faces_image.py <path/to/input_image>
To detect face from videos:
python3 detect_faces_video.py
- Python 3.5
- OpenCV
sudo apt-get install python-opencv
