Week 5 10/2-10/6

This week I successfully created a facial recognition program with python, while integrating opencv. The program recognizes faces when photos of the person are stored in the dataset folder. After new files are stored running the "train_model" script, it reads the photos and essentially learns the new faces to be recognized. after all this is done, the main script is ran. Faces not in the dataset folder will appear as "Unknown" in the window. This project can be used for a number of things like attendance, security, or surveillance. Next, I will be trying to use it for an automated attendance checker.
