Face detector project? - korenron - Mar-24-2021

Hello ,
I want to build a face detector with python on my PI
that will just recognaize faces
for first stage I don't need it to tell me who is this person
just to know there is a person in front of the camera
and will also know how much faces he see ?

like when Iopen my digital camera and he show me 4 squers around 4 faces

where can I get info and maybe a "How to" information about this?

**** In the end I want to be able to count people using the camera (I don't mind man\woman\child) ***

Thanks ,

This is a VERY popular project and there are dozens of tutorials for it. Just do a search for 'Raspberry Pi Face Detection' and pick which one you want to follow. I suggest you use a newer RPi 4 if you can since processing power and RAM will matter if you want this to work in real-time.

Let us know how it goes...

every ehere I looked I found how to recognaize according to image and every link told me it take about ~90 min to install all.
