Sample code for full body detection with opencv

fullBody_detect.py

import cv2

# Import video
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("<path>/video.mp4")
cap.set(3, 640)
cap.set(4, 420)

# import cascade file for full body
bodyCascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + "haarcascade_fullbody.xml")

while True:
    success, img = cap.read()
    imgGray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    # Getting corners around the body
    body = bodyCascade.detectMultiScale(imgGray, 1.1, 2)  # play around with these parameters to get the desired result
    # drawing bounding box around body
    for (x, y, w, h) in body:
        img = cv2.rectangle(img, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 3)


    cv2.imshow('body_detect', img)
    if cv2.waitKey(10) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyWindow('body_detect')
