Haven't tried with OpenCV 4. This repo is still using:
opencv-python==3.4.3.18
opencv-contrib-python==3.4.3.18

Refer to https://github.com/richmondu/libfaceid/blob/master/requirements.txt

Try installing opencv-contrib-python==4.2.0

Hi @richmondu ,
Thanks for sharing the great work. I am facing the same problem. I also tried downgrading OpenCV to 3.4.3.18 but I still faced the same error. Please help!
