Face Detection with OpenCV (for complete Dummies)

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • opencv-python

    Automated CI toolchain to produce precompiled opencv-python, opencv-python-headless, opencv-contrib-python and opencv-contrib-python-headless packages.

  • You can grab opencv-python from pypi - this is an unoptimised version that works on CPU - more than enough for prototyping.

  • OpenCV

    Open Source Computer Vision Library

  • This is a very dumb and straightforward tutorial that is meant to be a complete newbie intro into face detection. I'll be using OpenCV for this, and python for simplicity, however if you want to scale you might want to rewrite this in C++. Python is great for prototyping so I'll stick with this.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
