Ever thought of creating your own Haar Cascade for Face Detection? This project will teach you how to do the same. We will start from the basics of OpenCV and then move to advance concepts of the Viola-Jones algorithm.
Overview
Introduction
This tutorial will cover all the details (resources, tools, languages, etc) that are necessary to create Haar Cascade for Face Detection. You will be guided through all the steps and concepts, starting from the basic ones like the basics of OpenCV to the more advanced topics related to the development.
What are the requirements?
- Python basics
- Most important is: desire to learn
What is the target audience?
- Learners who want to enhance their knowledge
- This course will help the students who are doing their final projects
