Face Detection is the act of finding and extracting a face from any given image, video, webcam… based on some specific features (skin color, nose, eyes, mouth…). This method is used in a program for recognizing a face(see if is it familiar or not familiar face) and performed by using the color segmentation of the image. To do so, python provides us a useful function: cv2.findContours.
