[Solved] attributeerror: module ‘cv2.face’ has no attribute ‘createlbphfacerecognizer’

Solution #1:

Had the same problem. Use:

recognizer = cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()

It worked for my program.

Solution #2:

There are some missing modules for contributed libraries in the default pip install opencv-python so you need pip install opencv-contrib-python

Solution #3:

Under Windows 7, I was able to resolve the issue by simply uninstalling and re-installing opencv:

pip uninstall opencv-contrib-python
pip install opencv-contrib-python

The recogniser is called by:

recognizer = cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()

Solution #4:

Try to update your opencv by “python -m pip install opencv-contrib-python”
ps: you have to delete the CV2 repository from the Python rep and then run this command (in the CMD windows) if it doesn’t work

Solution #5:

Try to use this:

import cv2
import os
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

# Path for face image database
path = 'dataset'
recognizer = cv2.face_LBPHFaceRecognizer.create()
detector = cv2.CascadeClassifier("haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")

Solution #6:

I had this problem running opencv Version 3.4.1. Here is what I did.

SPECS:
Raspberry pi 3B, OS: Raspbian, Version: 9 (Stretch), Python 3, opencv Version 3.4.1

Check opencv version in python

import cv2

cv2.__version__

1) sudo pip install opencv-contrib-python

*After this I could not import cv2 in python until I installed the following.

2) sudo apt-get update

3) sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev

4) sudo apt-get update

5) sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev libqtgui4 libqt4-test

Solution #7:

I fixed this issue with two commands:

First: sudo pip3 uninstall opencv-contrib-python

Second: sudo python3 -m pip install opencv-contrib-python==3.3.0.9

This fixed my issues. Hope it helps somebody!
Also, if you are using python2, replace “pip3” with “pip” and “python3” with “python”

Solution #8:

try this it worked for me

pip install --force-reinstall opencv-contrib-python==4.1.2.30

Solution #9:

recognizer = cv2.face_LBPHFaceRecognizer.create()

Solution #10:

You are using Opencv 3.x, in the new version few modules has been removed. You have two options:
1. Add opencv_contrib module to your existing opencv 3.x version.
Here’s the link https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib
2.you can use older versions of Opencv. Like opencv 2.4.x

Solution #11:

open cmd , then –> pip install opencv-contrib-python

Solution #12:

I fixed this issue by installing:
sudo pip install opencv-contrib-python.

Then look for correct format.

python2 is default

Basically the problem is that python3 and python2 have different format of code.

recognizer = cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()

This is the format of python2.

recognizer = cv2.face.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()

This is the format of python3

Solution #13:

Even I had this problem when I ran the code using Jupyter Notebook.
If you are running it on Jupyter Notebook , then download it as pyhton(.py) file and try to run it in Anaconda Prompt or Command Prompt. This solved the problem for me.
Thank You.

Solution #14:

• Uninstall this package (opencv-python) by command :-
• pip uninstall opencv-python
• Install the library opencv-contrib python using command :-
• pip install opencv-contrib-python
• then add or check :-
• recognizer = cv2.face_LBPHFaceRecognizer.create()
• It will work fine
• The problem was in opencv-python library cv2.face is not present so it shows attribute missing problem, so install new lib by uninstalling previous one if installed..

Solution #15:

Installing opencv-contrib-python solved the issue.
I had installed only opencv-python, After Installing opencv-contrib-python, solved the issue.

pip install opencv-contrib-python

Solution #16:

If you are using python3 use pip3 instead of pip:
pip3 install opencv-contrib-python

Then you can simply do:
recognizer = cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()

Solution #17:

write

pip install opencv-contrib-python --upgrade

if gives error then
write

pip install opencv-contrib-python --user

it will work fine for cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()
