Real-Time Face Detection Using OpenCV

  1. face_detection_ssd_parallel.py script is used for performing real-time face detection on input stream from webcam connected to a laptop or desktop
  2. Pre-trained deep learning model for face detection from OpenCV is used Link
  3. Imutils library is used for reading frames from webcam in a multi-threaded approach for achieving higher FPS Link
  4. Model architecture is a Single Shot Detector (SSD) framework with a ResNet backbone
  5. Model files are in caffe format
    • deploy.prototxt.txt - defines model architecture
    • res10_300x300_ssd_iter_140000.caffemodel - contains trained model weights
  6. Model files can also be directly downloaded from OpenCV repository. Useful links: Link1 Link2 Link3

Programming language and libraries used

  1. Python programming language
  2. OpenCV library
  3. Imutils library (install using -> pip install imutils)
  4. Other Python libraries including Numpy library
