Face detection demo code by python

A demo code about the face detection:

# import library - MUST use cv2 if using opencv_traincascade
import cv2

# rectangle color and stroke
color = (0, 0, 255)  # reverse of RGB (B,G,R) - weird
strokeWeight = 1  # thickness of outline

# set window name
windowName = "Object Detection"

# load an image to search for faces
img = cv2.imread("face8.jpg")

# load detection file (various files for different views and uses)
cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier("haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")
cascade.load("haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")
#cascade.load('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
# preprocessing, as suggested by: http://www.bytefish.de/wiki/opencv/object_detection
# img_copy = cv2.resize(img, (img.shape[1]/2, img.shape[0]/2))
# gray = cv2.cvtColor(img_copy, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# gray = cv2.equalizeHist(gray)

# detect objects, return as list
rects = cascade.detectMultiScale(img)

# display until escape key is hit
while True:

    # get a list of rectangles
    for x, y, width, height in rects:
        cv2.rectangle(img, (x, y), (x + width, y + height), color, strokeWeight)

    # display!
    cv2.imshow(windowName, img)

    # escape key (ASCII 27) closes window
    if cv2.waitKey(20) == 27:
        break

# if esc key is hit, quit!
exit()
