FaceRecongition_LIVE_INPERSON_DATA-

What it Does: Learning Phase: Captures 250 face images of a person. Asks for their name. Saves them in a folder named after the person. Recognition Phase: Uses LBPH recognizer (simple and fast). Detects and labels known persons. Labels others as "Unknown".

What this project does: This is a face recognition system using your webcam. It has two parts: Learning phase – You show your face and tell your name. It takes 250 photos and saves them. Recognition phase – It uses your webcam in real time to recognize known people or label as "Unknown".

Requirements (Install First) Before running anything, open your terminal or command prompt and run: pip install opencv-contrib-python That's all you need!

🗂 Folder Structure project_folder/ │ ├── dataset/ ← Where face images are stored ├── face_training.py ← Run this to add a new person └── face_recognition.py← Run this to recognize faces in real time

⚠️ Don't create the dataset/ folder yourself — the script will do it. 🧠 Step 1: Train with a Person’s Face Run this file: face_training.py What happens: It opens your webcam. Asks you to type your name. Captures 250 photos of your face. Saves them in dataset/YourName/. Look straight at the camera while it takes pictures. Step 2: Recognize People in Real-Time Run this file: face_recognition.py What happens: Webcam opens. If your face is known, it shows your name. If unknown, it shows "Unknown". Press ESC to close it.

if you want to add more people

Just run face_training.py again and enter a different name. It will store their images too, and next time they’ll be recognized!

Troubleshooting

Error: cv2.face not found? Make sure you installed the right package:
