Face Detection ROS Node using OpenCV

This is a ROS node which reads images from a given directory, detects faces, and publishes the images with the detected faces encircled, to the sensor_msgs/Image topic which can be subscribed by Rviz for visualisation.

This implementation of face detection is using Viola-Jones algorithm. OpenCV provides libraries for implementing the algorithm in the Object Detection module.
