Python OpenCV Face Detection

This is a basic python script for real time face detection usin python opencv.

the script accesses the webcam and detects any face front and marks a blue rectangle on the face

It uses haarcascade classifiers for this purpose. the cascade classifier used here is 'haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml' Apart from this 'haarcascade_frontalface_alt' or 'haarcascade_frontalface_alt2' can also be used
