Face Detection using Python

This project implements a simple face detection algorithm using OpenCV in Python. It detects faces from an image using a pre-trained classifier.

Requirements

Make sure you have Python installed on your system. You will need to install OpenCV for Python, which can be done easily using pip.

Installation

1. First, install the necessary Python packages:

   pip install opencv-python

2. Replace test1.jpg with your own image for face detection. Ensure the image is in the same directory as the script, or update the file path in the script accordingly.

How to Run

1. Place your image (for example, test1.jpg) in the same directory as the script.
2. Run the main.py script to detect faces in your image:

   python main.py

How it Works

1. The script loads the image (test1.jpg by default) and applies the face detection using OpenCV’s Haar Cascade Classifier.
2. Detected faces are highlighted with rectangles, and the output image is displayed.
