Face detection with OpenCV and deep learning - PyImageSearch

Today's blog post is broken down into three parts. In the first part we'll discuss the origin of the more accurate OpenCV face detectors and where they live inside the OpenCV library. From there I'll demonstrate how you can perform face detection in images using OpenCV and deep learning. I'll then wrap up the blog post discussing how you can apply face detection to video streams using OpenCV and deep learning as well. Back in August 2017, OpenCV 3.3 was officially released, bringing it with it a highly improved "deep neural networks" ( dnn) module.
