Introduction

This project provides a basic implementation of a face recognition system. It utilizes Python and some common libraries, such as OpenCV and face_recognition, to detect and recognize faces in images. You can use this project as a starting point to build more advanced face recognition applications or learn about the fundamentals of face recognition.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Python 3.7 or higher
• OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library)
• face_recognition library

You can install the necessary Python libraries using pip:

pip install opencv-python
pip install datetime
pip install cmake
pip install numpy
pip install os
pip install dlib
pip install face_recognition

Installation

To get started with this project, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/mabdulrehmankhan/basic_face-recognition_system.git

2. Change into the project directory:

cd basic_face-recognition_system

3. Install the required dependencies as mentioned in the "Prerequisites" section.

Usage

Once you've installed the required libraries and cloned the repository, you can use the provided Python script, main.py, to perform face recognition. Here's how you can use it:

Example usage of the main.py script:

python main.py --image path_to_image.jpg

Feel free to explore the code and modify it to suit your specific needs.
