FaceDistanceMeasure 📏📸

A project to estimate the distance of a face from a camera using computer vision.

---

🌟 Features

• 🎥 Real-time face detection.
• 📏 Accurate distance measurement based on the size of the detected face.
• 📂 Easy-to-use and extend for other object distance measurements.
• 🧠 Utilizes OpenCV and Haar Cascade for efficient face detection.

---

🔧 Requirements

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.7+
• OpenCV 4.x
• A working webcam or camera device

---

🚀 How It Works

1. Captures video frames from your webcam.
2. Detects faces using the Haar Cascade model.
3. Calculates the distance of the face from the camera using the formula: [ \text{Distance} = \frac{\text{Real Width of Object} \times \text{Focal Length}}{\text{Width of Object in Frame}} ]
