HOW TO DETECT FACES IN PYTHON USING OPENCV (face detection in python)

hello guys in this tutorial we will take a look at how to detect faces in python using opencv
code : -

#robokishan
#don't just copy and paste it will never work  install opencv and also modules required for it
#then just download opencv from git and copy this file "haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml"


#if you have such a brain this code speaks lot more than i show just figure out what else you can do
#uncomment some useful stuffs


#!/usr/bin/python
import cv2
import numpy as np

face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier("haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")
# eye_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier("haarcascade_eye.xml")
# smile = cv2.CascadeClassifier("haarcascade_smile.xml")
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while True:
ret , frame  = cap.read()
gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame , cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray , 1.3 , 5)
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
cv2.rectangle(frame , (x,y) , (x+w , y+h) , (255 , 0, 0) , 2)
roi_gray = gray[y:y+h , x:x+w]
roi_color = frame[y:y+h , x:x+w]
# smiles=smile.detectMultiScale(roi_gray)
# for(ex,ey,ew,eh) in smiles:
# cv2.rectangle(roi_color,(ex,ey),(ex+ew,ey+eh),(0,255,0),2)
# eyes = eye_cascade.detectMultiScale(roi_gray)
# for(ex,ey,ew,eh) in eyes:
# cv2.rectangle(roi_color,(ex,ey),(ex+ew,ey+eh),(0,255,0),2)
cv2.imshow('frame' , frame)
k = cv2.waitKey(30) & 0xff
if k == 27: #esc key
break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

if you find out it is usefull please can you comment for more my information. something useful for me.

related to python, java, linux, android programming challenges.

thank you
