Live Facial Recognition in python using dlibs pre-trained model. Some code adapted from face_recognition library.

Use of face_recognition library, edited to train on any number of images that you put inside the /Faces/ Folder.

Make sure you have:

• os
• numpy
• dlib (some tutorials on how to get it online, look it up)
• face_recognition (get it here: https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition)
• opencv

most of these come with anaconda, except opencv, dlib.

Instructions

1. clone this repo to a folder using: git clone https://github.com/etfriedman/machine-learning.git

2. Inside the folder "Faces" put a .jpg or .jpeg image of someones face, just one face per image. When you run the notebook it will train the face and be able to detect it. a python window will pop up showing your webcam.

3. press q to stop the webcam.
