Face recognition using python and opencv

Question

I want to work on this face recognition project but when I run the train.py, I get the following error:

recognizer = cv2.face.createFisherFaceRecognizer()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'face'

I've googled it but I didn't find anything useful.

I'm running python 2.7 and OpenCV 3.2.0.

Any help would be appreciated.

@user1767754 it is installed correctly, but I think this is because of the OpenCV version. I haven't found anything helpful on the web. — mohamad danesh

The "face" module is from opencv_contrib. Are you sure that the build of OpenCV you're using contains this? AFAIK most of the standard builds don't contain the contrib modules. — Dan Mašek

@DanMašek Thanks man, your first comment helped a lot. The answer is to use OpenCV3 to work. Something like this: brew install opencv3 --with-contrib — mohamad danesh

@mohamaddanesh Great. However, instead of editing your title as you have, you should write your own answer to your question (and accept it). — Dan Mašek

As @DanMašek in the comments said, the answer is to add the open_contrib module in the OpenCV to use face module. It can be done while installing OpenCV, like this:

brew install opencv3 --with-contrib
