'cv2.cascadeclassifier' Object Has No Attribute 'detectmultiscale'

I simply want to detect face and eyes using haarcascade. But this is the error I am receiving. Traceback (most recent call last): File 'L:/Project/1', line 10, in

Solution 1:

As @roganjosh mentioned in the comments for the question, the problem here is that the method name is not spelled out correctly. The correct function call is:

face_cascade.detectMultiScale(...)

With the difference being that the 'S' in scale is capitalized.

Solution 2:

A similar code worked for me with the absolute path for both the XML files. The sample is covered below.

1. Download XML files from [https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/data/haarcascades]

2. Mention the absolute path for the XML files (example below)

face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('C:\Python\haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
eye_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('C:\Python\haarcascade_eye.xml')
