Hello,

I am trying to get face detection using haar cascading. I tried it on a live video from my webcam on my own face, that did not work. Then I tried it on a still image, which did not work either. In both cases, the image is shown, but no face is detected. I tried modifying the sample code from the open cv face detection tutorial. Here is the code I tried:

import numpy as np import cv2

face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml') eye_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_eye.xml')

img = cv2.imread('face.jpg') gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY) faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(img, 1.3,5) print faces for (x,y,w,h) in faces: cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2) roi_gray = gray[y:y+h, x:x+w] roi_color = img[y:y+h, x:x+w] eyes = eye_cascade.detectMultiScale(roi_gray) for (ex,ey,ew,eh) in eyes: cv2.rectangle(roi_color,(ex,ey),(ex+ew,ey+eh),(0,255,0),2)

cv2.imshow('img',img) cv2.waitKey(0)
