Streamlit Face Detection Application

This repository contains a Streamlit application for webcam-based face detection. The application uses OpenCV and a Haar Cascade classifier to detect faces from the webcam feed.

Contents

• LICENSE: License file for the project.
• README.md: This file. Provides an overview of the project.
• Streamlit_cam.py: Main Streamlit application script.
• haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml: Haar Cascade XML file for frontal face detection.
• webcam_cv3.py: Python script for webcam operations using OpenCV3.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   https://github.com/Shreyaprasad21/Face-Detection-Applciation.git
   cd Face-Detection-Application

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate   # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install the required packages

Usage

1. To run the Streamlit application:

   streamlit run Streamlit_cam.py

   or

   python -m streamlit run Streamlit_cam.py
   

2. The application will start and can be accessed at http://localhost:8501 in your web browser.

Files Description

• Streamlit_cam.py: This is the main script for the Streamlit application. It initializes the webcam, captures the video stream, and applies the Haar Cascade classifier to detect faces.
• haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml: Pre-trained Haar Cascade model for detecting frontal faces.
• webcam_cv3.py: An alternative script for handling webcam feed using OpenCV3 directly. It can be used for testing and debugging purposes.
