Have you looked at the docs and examples yet?

djangid commented 6 years ago

i did but its not clear how you train your database to get the name with picture like normal opencv things

In code, it's a simple as this: https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition/blob/master/examples/facerec_from_webcam_faster.py#L17-L32

If you are using the command-line tool instead of writing code, then you just pass in a folder containing one image of each known person.
