Here we will learn to use "dlib" library to train as well as recognize the face

• install dlib

  • windows
    • must have python 3.6
    • visit here to get the link of dlib which suits your system
    • 
    • right click on the link highlighted in green and copy link address
    • activate your python virtual environment
    • run the command python -m pip install <pypi-link> where pypi-link is the link address you copied

• running the code

  • add your picture (only one needed) in the id folder and name it as your-name_id
    • _ (underscore) matters here in between your-name and id
    • example: in my case deepak_1
    • if you want to train more than one then add their photo in id folder and name them as following examples:
      1. name_1
      2. name_2
      3. name_3
      4. and so on...
  • when you are done with adding the photos in id folder just run the following command to TRAIN(encode) with the photos
    • python encoding.py
    • this will create a encodings.pickle file which contains the 128-facial features
    • human can't read that pickle file
  • the last step i.e. DETECTION run the command given below in your terminal
    • python detect.py

• thats it for the begineer level
