This Python script provides a simple face recognition and verification system using OpenCV, DeepFace, and a Tkinter-based graphical user interface (GUI). The system captures images from a camera, saves them in a structured directory, and verifies faces against a stored database.

Face Recognition: Detects and recognizes faces from a live camera feed.

Face Verification: Compares a captured face against a database to verify identity.

Image Management: Automatically manages and stores images in a structured folder system.

User Interface: Provides a basic GUI for interaction.

Python 3.x

OpenCV (cv2)

DeepFace

Pillow (PIL)

Tkinter (usually comes pre-installed with Python)

Other standard Python libraries (os, shutil, datetime, etc.)

Install Required Packages: Use the following pip commands to install necessary libraries:

Directory Structure: The script will create a face_recognition directory in the working directory to store captured images.

Run the Script: Execute the script using Python:

Starting the Program: Upon running the script, the camera feed will open, and the GUI will display options for capturing and verifying images.

Capturing Images: The script saves captured images in a structured folder named face_recognition/user_<ID>, where <ID> is a unique identifier for each user.

Verifying Faces: When a face is captured, the script compares it against the stored images in the face_recognition directory to verify if it matches any existing user.

Image Compression: Images are automatically compressed to be under 200KB before saving to optimize storage usage.

initialize_next_user_id: Initializes the next user ID based on existing folders.

verify_image: Compares a captured image with images in the database for face verification.

capture_image: Captures and saves an image from the camera feed.

Main: Sets up the GUI and integrates all functionalities for user interaction.
