Simple and Easy Face Detection.

By K. Adarsh

Face detection using MTCNN and OpenCV in Python programming language from a live streaming video using front camera of laptop.

Description

The packet is a simple face detection program done in Python using MTCNN and with the help of OpenCV. Multi-Task Cascaded Convolutional Neural Network or MTCNN for short is a popular deep learning method used to detect faces. MTCNN consists of a cascade structure with three networks which aids in finding out faces more effectively compared to other methods like haar cascade. There are open-source implementations of the architecture of MTCNN because of its complexity and difficulty. OpenCV is another tool, a library to perform video and mainly image manipulation functions in realtime. The whole program is in Python as Python is probably the simple, powerful, robust computer language of all.
