import numpy as np
from PIL import Image

recognizer = cv2.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()

Error : recognizer = cv2.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()

You need compile OpenCV from source. Download both opencv and opencv_contrib.

In opencv_contrib source, there is a folder called modules, delete you don't use.

I don't how to compile it on Windows. There(OpenCV 3 Tutorials, Resources, and Guides) are some tutorials for install OpenCV(Linux, macOS, etc), but no Windows version. You can refer to relevant information for compile OpenCV from source on Windows.
