Answer 1

You need to install opencv-contrib

pip install opencv-contrib-python 

It should work after that.

Answer 2

if you are using python3.x and opencv==4.1.0 then use following commands First of all

python -m pip install --user opencv-contrib-python 

after that use this in the python script

cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()
