I want to use the OpenCV's FaceRecognizer module for Python in Ubuntu 14.04 but it keeps me saying:

attributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'createEigenFaceRecognizer'

Why is that and how can I solve it??

Thank you in advance

I have visited another question asked in this forum: http://answers.opencv.org/question/12...

but the answer didn't work for me and since it is quite old I thought some thing may have changed.

you'll need https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib (see readme there on how to add it)
then, it's all in a new submodule, cv2.face.

>>> help(cv2.face)
Help on module cv2.face in cv2:

NAME
    cv2.face

FILE
    (built-in)

FUNCTIONS
    createEigenFaceRecognizer(...)
        createEigenFaceRecognizer([, num_components[, threshold]]) -> retval

    createFisherFaceRecognizer(...)
        createFisherFaceRecognizer([, num_components[, threshold]]) -> retval

    createLBPHFaceRecognizer(...)
        createLBPHFaceRecognizer([, radius[, neighbors[, grid_x[, grid_y[, thres
hold]]]]]) -> retval

@berak Can you please give me a quick walkthrough on how to add this? I'm new and confused as to what and would be for the make instructions outlined in the readme (https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib). I'm previously compiled opencv v3.2.0 but can't figure out how to compile this, either through command line prompts or through the cmake gui. Thanks!
