.:: PYTHON FACE DETECTION SECURITY ::.
Python program that detects faces via webcam




This is a Python program that detects faces via the webcam and saves the image to a file when a face is detected.

In order to get this program to run, you will need to run a command line statement to install the necessary OpenCV module...

py -m pip install opencv-python

You will also need to download this file, which is a "Haar Cascade" definition of what a face should look like (if you want, you can use other Harr Cascade definitions)...

haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml

I want to credit "Shantnu Tiwari" for his sample code. I would have kept it the same, but one of the lines of code only works in an older version of Python, which is why I felt the need to post an updated version.
