Program-12

12. Write a program to detect a face/s in an image.

Program

import cv2

# Load the cascade classifier for face detection

face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades +
'haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')

# Load the image

image = cv2.imread('image/face.jpeg')

# Convert the image to grayscale

gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# Detect faces in the grayscale image

faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5,


minSize=(30, 30))

# Draw rectangles around the detected faces

for (x, y, w, h) in faces:

cv2.rectangle(image, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)

# Display the image with detected faces

cv2.imshow('Face Detection', image)

# Wait for a key press to close the window

cv2.waitKey(0)

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Explanation

1. This code demonstrates how to perform face detection in an image using


OpenCV in Python. Here's a breakdown of what the code does:

2. The cv2 library is imported from OpenCV.


3. The Haar cascade classifier for face detection is loaded using
cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades +
'haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml'). This classifier is a pre-trained model
that can detect frontal faces in images.
4. The image is loaded using cv2.imread('image/face.jpeg'). Make sure to
replace 'image/face.jpeg' with the correct path to your image file containing
faces.
5. The image is converted to grayscale using cv2.cvtColor(image,
cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY). Face detection is typically performed on
grayscale images.
6. The face_cascade.detectMultiScale method is used to detect faces in the
grayscale image. The parameters scaleFactor=1.1, minNeighbors=5, and
minSize=(30, 30) control the detection process:
7. scaleFactor=1.1 specifies the scale factor used to resize the input image for
different scales.
8. minNeighbors=5 specifies the minimum number of neighboring rectangles
that should overlap to consider a face detection as valid.
9. minSize=(30, 30) specifies the minimum size of the face to be detected.
10.For each detected face, a rectangle is drawn around it using
cv2.rectangle(image, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2). The rectangle
coordinates are obtained from the faces list returned by detectMultiScale. The

(0, 255, 0) argument specifies the color (green in this case), and the 2
argument specifies the thickness of the rectangle lines.
11.The image with the detected faces and rectangles is displayed using
cv2.imshow('Face Detection', image).
12.The script waits for a key press (cv2.waitKey(0)) before closing the window.
13.Finally, the window is closed using cv2.destroyAllWindows().
