OpenCV Face Module

About

OpenCV is the most widely used computer vision library, and its face module provides classical and deep learning-based face detection and recognition. It includes Haar cascades, DNN face detector, and the FaceRecognizer API for building face recognition pipelines.

Key Features

• Haar cascade face detection
• DNN-based face detector
• Face landmark detection
• Face recognition (Eigenfaces, LBPH)
• Real-time video processing
• Cross-platform support

Use Cases

• Embedded systems
• Robotics
• Academic projects
• Prototyping
• Real-time detection systems
