AttributeError module cv2 cv2 has no attribute face LBPHFaceRecognizer

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to train my model using LBPHFaceRecognizer, so that it can detect my face. But I am getting this below error.

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-3-93a512c7e667> in <module>
     24 # Create a numpy array for both training data and labels
     25 Labels = np.asarray(Labels, dtype=np.int32)
---> 26 model=cv2.face_LBPHFaceRecognizer.create()
     27 # Initialize facial recognizer
     28 # model = cv2.face_LBPHFaceRecognizer.create()
AttributeError: module 'cv2.cv2' has no attribute 'face_LBPHFaceRecognizer'

How can I solve this error?

Hi@MD,

LBPHFaceRecognizer module comes from a package named opencv-contrib-python. So install this package and restart your program again.

$ pip install opencv-contrib-python

Hope this will work.
