face recognition python how does it work code example

Example 1: face detection source code in python

import cv2
import sys

cascPath = sys.argv[1]
faceCascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cascPath)

video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while True:
    # Capture frame-by-frame
    ret, frame = video_capture.read()

    gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    faces = faceCascade.detectMultiScale(
        gray,
        scaleFactor=1.1,
        minNeighbors=5,
        minSize=(30, 30),
        flags=cv2.cv.CV_HAAR_SCALE_IMAGE
    )

    # Draw a rectangle around the faces
    for (x, y, w, h) in faces:
        cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2)

    # Display the resulting frame
    cv2.imshow('Video', frame)

    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

# When everything is done, release the capture
video_capture.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Example 2: face_recognition python project

import cv2
import face_recognition
 
imgElon = face_recognition.load_image_file('ImagesBasic/Elon Musk.jpg')
imgElon = cv2.cvtColor(imgElon,cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
imgTest = face_recognition.load_image_file('ImagesBasic/Bill gates.jpg')
imgTest = cv2.cvtColor(imgTest,cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
 
faceLoc = face_recognition.face_locations(imgElon)[0]
encodeElon = face_recognition.face_encodings(imgElon)[0]
cv2.rectangle(imgElon,(faceLoc[3],faceLoc[0]),(faceLoc[1],faceLoc[2]),(255,0,255),2)
 
faceLocTest = face_recognition.face_locations(imgTest)[0]
encodeTest = face_recognition.face_encodings(imgTest)[0]
cv2.rectangle(imgTest,(faceLocTest[3],faceLocTest[0]),(faceLocTest[1],faceLocTest[2]),(255,0,255),2)
 
results = face_recognition.compare_faces([encodeElon],encodeTest)
faceDis = face_recognition.face_distance([encodeElon],encodeTest)
print(results,faceDis)
cv2.putText(imgTest,f'{results} {round(faceDis[0],2)}',(50,50),cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_COMPLEX,1,(0,0,255),2)
 
cv2.imshow('Elon Musk',imgElon)
cv2.imshow('Elon Test',imgTest)
cv2.waitKey(0)
