cv2 cascadeclassifier is used for code example
Example: facecascade = cv2.cascadeclassifier(cascpath)
import cv2
import sys
# get paths for the image and haar cascade
imagePath = sys.argv[1]
cascPath = sys.argv[2]
# Create the haar cascade
faceCascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cascPath)
# Read the image and convert to gray
image = cv2.imread(imagePath)
gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# now we can try to detect faces
faces = faceCascade.detectMultiScale(
gray,
scaleFactor=1.1,
minNeighbors=5,
minSize=(30, 30),
flags = cv2.CASCADE_SCALE_IMAGE
)
# Draw a rectangle around the faces and display on screen
for (x, y, w, h) in faces:
cv2.rectangle(image, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
cv2.imshow("Faces found", image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
