OpenCV: AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'face'

Question

I am creating a face recognition system using Python and OpenCV on these versions:

• Python 3.6.2 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
• Anaconda 4.3.23
• O

Answer 1

Solution, as were found at OpenCV forum (and same at StackOverflow), works well for me:

pip install opencv-python
pip install opencv_contrib_python

And in cv2 version 4.0.0 face recogniser can be created by using different function name, as mentionted above:

face_recognizer = cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()
face_recognizer = cv2.face.EigenFaceRecognizer_create()
face_recognizer = cv2.face.FisherFaceRecognizer_create()
