Face Detection and Recognition Using OpenCV

Abstract

Intel's OpenCV is a free and open-access image and video processing library. It is linked to computer vision, like feature and object recognition and machine learning. This paper presents the main OpenCV modules, features, and OpenCV based on Python. The paper also presents common OpenCV applications and classifiers used in these applications like image processing, face detection, face recognition, and object detection. Finally, we discuss some literary reviews of OpenCV applications in the fields of computer vision such as face detection and recognition, or recognition of facial expressions such as sadness, anger, happiness, or recognition of the gender and age of a person.
