The system detects faces in an image and highlights them with rectangles.\n\n## Features:\n\n- Loads an image and resizes it for optimal performance.\n\n- Converts the image to grayscale for better face detection.\n\n- Detects faces using the Haar cascade classifier.\n\n- Highlights detected faces with bounding rectangles.\n\n## Technologies Used:\n\n- **Python:** For scripting and image processing.\n\n- **OpenCV:** For face detection and image manipulation.\n\n## Installation:\n\n### Clone the Repository\n\n    git clone https://github.com/your-username/Face_Recognition.git\n    cd Face_Recognition\n\n**Install Dependencies** Ensure you have Python installed. Then, install `OpenCV`:\n\n    pip install opencv-python\n\n### Download **Haar Cascade File** Download the `haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml` file from the OpenCV GitHub repository and place it in the project directory.\n\n## Usage:\n\n- Replace `1.jpg` in the script with the path to your desired image.\n\n- Run the script: `python face_recognition.py`\n\n- The program will display the input image with detected faces highlighted.\n\n## Example Output:\n\nAfter running the script, you will see the image with bounding `rectangles` around detected faces.\n\n## Project Structure:\n\n    Face_Recognition/\n    ├── face_recognition.py          # Main script for face detection\n    ├── haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml  # Haar cascade file for face detection\n    └── 1.jpg                        # Sample image (replaceable)\n\n## Future Enhancements:\n\n- Add functionality to detect faces in `real-time` using a webcam.\n\n- Integrate advanced `face recognition` models like deep learning-based detectors.\n\n- Improve the `UI` for displaying results.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the `MIT` License.
