Sir What about its data set?

[souravrs999]

Change it to:
faceCascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier("haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")

I had the same issue, this solved it for me:
pip install opencv-contrib-python --upgrade

[Rephil2]

Thanks @CallShaul! This fixed it for me too.

having installed both python-opencv and opencv-contrib-python may cause some problems in the same environment (https://pypi.org/project/opencv-contrib-python/) be sure to uninstall before 1 before installing the other

detector = cv2.cascadeClassifier(haarcascadePath)

It's Cascade classifier 'C' should be capitalized just a typo

I have pip uninstalled opencv-python and installed opencv-contrib-python but I still get this error.

This is the line with the problem: face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + 'haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')

@usernames-privacy am also facing the same issue. But i think the problem might stem from the cascade file not been available in the cv folder.
