Face Detection using OpenCV

This is a simple real-time face detection script using OpenCV in Python. It utilizes Haar cascade classifiers to detect faces from a webcam feed and highlights them with a bounding box.

Requirements

Ensure you have Python installed along with the required dependencies:

pip install opencv-python

How to Run

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/face-detection-opencv.git
   cd face-detection-opencv

2. Run the script:

   python face_detection.py

How It Works

• Captures video from the default webcam.
• Converts each frame to grayscale.
• Detects faces using Haar cascade classifiers.
• Draws a bounding box around detected faces.
• Press q to exit the program.

Dependencies

• OpenCV
• Python 3.x

Example Output

When a face is detected, a bounding box appears around it:
