Facial Recognition and Detection.


A small video on how to train and detect faces.

Here I have trained the US President's face by feeding in samples of about 3000 photos, and when I played the video of Trump it immediately recognises it.

Uses Python and OpenCV to detect and recognize faces.

There are lots of places where the configuration is described in detail.

But I used this link and it is straight forward.

I used Raspicast as an app on my SmartPhone to stream the data.
