About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a basic photo app that can detect faces in images using OpenCV. The app will let you upload a photo and automatically highlight any faces it finds.

Why it's a good starter: This project is beginner-friendly and focuses on one clear skill-face detection. You'll use real-world tools but in a manageable, step-by-step way, so you won't get lost or overwhelmed.

What you'll learn: You'll practice coding, learn how to use OpenCV for image processing, and discover how machine learning can be applied to simple, useful tasks.

Milestones

1. Setup & Project Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan (one page) outlining what your app will do. Install Python and OpenCV, and provide a screenshot showing your environment is ready.

2. Build: Load & Display Images, Basic Face Detection

35 marks 10d

Submit code that loads an image and detects faces using OpenCV's built-in methods. Include sample output with highlighted faces.

3. Build: App Features & Improvements

30 marks 10d

Add features: Let users upload their own photos, annotate detected faces, and organize your code clearly. Submit updated code and screenshots.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 5d

Test your app with several images (including tricky cases). Submit a short test log and make any fixes or improvements based on feedback.

5. Demo & Short Report

10 marks 5d

Submit a brief report (1-2 pages) and a demo video showing your app in action, explaining what you learned and any challenges you faced.
