This project is Face detection using C++ and OpenCV

Face Detection using C++

This is my first try for making a Face detection and recognisation project using C++ as main coding language and Haar Cascads algorithm (most widely used OpenCV's object detection algorithm).

Getting Started

• You can either copy the content of this file to any file in the folder that's already added to the path
• You can create a new project and use this file. Remember to add that folder to the path.
• Use the provided .xml file and change the path value in FaceDetection.cpp to where you placed this file.

Prerequisites

Softwares and tools you'll need to run this project sucessfully on your machine.

Microsoft Visual Studio (Newer version) and the .xml file provided above.

Executing the project

You can execute this project by pressing Ctrl+f5. Closing the terminal will terminate the execution process.

Knowledge required

• Basic OpenCV knowledge
• Intermediate C++ knowledge
• Basic Haar Cascade Algorithm's knowledge

Updates Planned

🚀 This project will be regularly updated till we reach our goal of making a fluid Face Detection and Recognisation system using C++.

Resources you can follow to excell at OpenCV

My personal favourite : Learn OpenCV
