OpenCV Error Module 'cv2.face' Has No Attribute 'createEigenFaceRecognizer'

I am using python 3.7 and latest version of openCV. When i try to create an EigenFaceRecognizer. This error pops up 'module 'cv2.face' has no attribute createEigenFaceRecognizer. I

Solution 1:

I believe the face module is in the opencv-contrib library. You can install it with

pip uninstall opencv-contrib-python
pip install opencv-contrib-python --no-cache-dir

Also the function got changed to this. load was replaced with read

import cv2

recognise = cv2.face.EigenFaceRecognizer_create()  
recognise.read("Recogniser/trainingDataEigan.xml")
