Face Detection using OpenCV and Python

This project is a simple and effective Face Detection system built using OpenCV and Python.
It uses a Haar Cascade Classifier to detect faces from a live webcam feed in real-time.
A great starting point for beginners learning about Computer Vision!

Features

• Real-time face detection using webcam
• Detects multiple faces in a single frame
• Draws bounding boxes around detected faces
• Lightweight and easy to set up

Technologies Used

• Python
• OpenCV
• Haar Cascade Classifier (Pre-trained XML model)

How to Run

1. Clone the repository.

2. Make sure the following file is available:

   • Resources/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml

3. Install OpenCV:

   pip install opencv-python
   

4. Run the script:

   python face_detection.py
   

Output

The webcam will open and start detecting faces. Detected faces will be highlighted with a bounding box in real-time.
