# This example program shows how to find frontal human faces in a webcam stream using OpenCV.
# It is also meant to demonstrate that rgb images from Dlib can be used with opencv by just
# swapping the Red and Blue channels.
#
# You can run this program and see the detections from your webcam by executing the
# following command:
# ./opencv_face_detection.py
#
# This face detector is made using the now classic Histogram of Oriented
# Gradients (HOG) feature combined with a linear classifier, an image
# pyramid, and sliding window detection scheme. This type of object detector
# is fairly general and capable of detecting many types of semi-rigid objects
# in addition to human faces. Therefore, if you are interested in making
# your own object detectors then read the train_object_detector.py example
# program.
#
#
# COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE
# You can install dlib using the command:
# pip install dlib
#
# Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib
# root folder and run:
# python setup.py install
#
# Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have
# CMake installed. On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by running the
# command:
# sudo apt-get install cmake
#
# Also note that this example requires Numpy which can be installed
# via the command:
# pip install numpy
