Command Line Facial Recognition Program

v2.0

This program uses the following libraries: openCV, numpy, dlib, face_recognition

face_recognition is a facial recognition wrapper for dlib which can be found at: https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition

This program uses a Haar Cascade for face detection

To use this program first run: "python3 setup.py" to install all required libraries

Commands for this program are:

1. python3 main.py addface image_path person_name : adds a face encoding to the database
2. python3 main.py run : runs webcam face recognition
3. python3 main.py help : prints this menu
4. python3 main.py scanphoto image_path : scans a photo for face recognition using HOG face detection
5. python3 main.py runhog : runs webcam face recognition using HOG face detection
6. python3 main.py scanphotohog image_path : scans a photo for face recognition using HOG face detection

When adding an image or scanning one image_path must be a path to a .jpg file with exactly one face in the image or else the facial recognition will not work properly

TO DO:

• Bug Check
• Allow multiple photos to be uploaded at once
• Fix the current issue of when a file of the same name as an existing file is uploaded it overrides the existing file.
