In this video we will see how to make live body detection app using opencv in jupyter notebook or any editor you want.

things required:

Python

OpenCV (pip install opencv-python)

TextEditor (preferred jupyter notebook or VSCode)

code :

import cv2

body_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(“haarcascade_fullbody.xml”)

vid = cv2.VideoCapture(“Pexels Videos 26701.mp4”)

while True:

response , color_image = vid.read()

if response == False:

break

grey_image = cv2.cvtColor(color_image , cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

body = body_cascade.detectMultiScale(grey_image , 1.1 , 2)

for (x , y, w , h) in body:

cv2.rectangle(color_image , (x , y) , (x+w , y + h) , (0 , 255 , 255) , 2)

cv2.imshow(‘Detector’ , color_image)

if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord(‘q’):

break

vid.release()

cv2.destroyAllWindows()
