Python and Computer Vision

As class project, we explored the thrilling world of face detection aided with Python. Have you ever taken a picture with your smartphone? If yes, have you ever noticed that little square, rectangle, cercle around the faces in the picture?  This is how machines distinguish faces and people. By attaching names to the faces, you just taught something to your smartphone. Welcome to the world of Machine Learning!
Here is a basic python program to recognize faces from a given picture based on the fact that most faces are closed to a circle shaped object. To get this rolling, we first need to import numpy and cv2.
