this is the code I wrote, I want to be able to show on the terminal how many faces was found, I tried some methods (if face_coordinates: cv2.imshow("a human was found", webcam) and others but nothing is working
import cv2
# load some pre-trained data on front faces (haarcascade algorithm)
trained_face_data = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
# to capture video from webcam
webcam = cv2.VideoCapture(1)
# iterate forever over frames
while True:
successful_frame_read, frame = webcam.read()
#flip the video (mirror)
flipped_frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
# convert to grayscale
grayscaled_img = cv2.cvtColor(flipped_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# detect faces
face_coordinates = trained_face_data.detectMultiScale(grayscaled_img)
# show rectangles around the face
for (x, y, w, h) in face_coordinates:
cv2.rectangle(flipped_frame, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
# show the webcam
cv2.imshow("Fadi's face detector system", flipped_frame)
key = cv2.waitKey(1)
# exit app if Q or q are pressed
if key==81 or key==113:
break
if face_coordinates: # python types can be coerced to boolean
cv2.imshow("Human was found!", webcam)
continue
else:
cv2.imshow("no human was found...", webcam)
continue
webcam.release()
In order to print the number of faces detected in the terminal i tried counting different faces detected and based on that you can print the number of humans found in the terminal while detecting. I have made some small changes in your code as below.
import cv2
# load some pre-trained data on front faces (haarcascade algorithm)
trained_face_data = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades +'haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
# to capture video from webcam
webcam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
# iterate forever over frames
while True:
successful_frame_read, frame = webcam.read()
#flip the video (mirror)
flipped_frame = cv2.flip(frame, 1)
# convert to grayscale
grayscaled_img = cv2.cvtColor(flipped_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# detect faces
face_coordinates = trained_face_data.detectMultiScale(grayscaled_img)
count=0
# show rectangles around the face
for (x, y, w, h) in face_coordinates:
count=count+1
cv2.rectangle(flipped_frame, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 3)
# show the webcam
cv2.imshow("Fadi's face detector system", flipped_frame)
key = cv2.waitKey(1)
# exit app if Q or q are pressed
if key==81 or key==113:
break
# python types can be coerced to boolean
if count==1:
print(count," human found")
elif count>0:
print(count," humans found")
else:
print("No human was found")
webcam.release()
