🧔‍♂️ Face Detection with OpenCV

June, 2022

🔍 Overview

This project demonstrates real-time face detection using OpenCV's pre-trained Haar Cascade Classifier. The application captures video from your webcam, detects faces, and highlights them with bounding boxes.

⚙️ How It Works

The script utilizes OpenCV's CascadeClassifier with the haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml model to identify faces in each frame of the webcam feed. Detected faces are outlined with rectangles, and the application continues to run until manually closed.

📦 Requirements

• opencv-python – for computer vision tasks
• opencv-python-headless – for headless environments (optional)
