Real Time Face Detection - OpenCV | Python
In this article of the computer vision series we will be discussing real time face detection with the help of Haar Cascade Classifier. In generalized terms face detection is a sub branch of object detection and recognition and therefore, before starting to identify faces we will have to understand the concept of detecting objects. So let's get started. Recall your childhood days when you first time walked down the streets and saw a new creature and that creature was a DOG. That was the first time you got to learn the features of that creature, like yes, a dog has four legs, long ears and a tail.
