I am running a typical face detection using OpenCV's (python3) haarCascades, and it does not seem to recognize my input image, presumably because of high levels of background light. Is there any way to get around this, or any special pre-processing I can do? I have tried clahe, but that does not seem to work, and I also tried equalizeHistogram, which also did not work. What other methods can I use to process the image so that face detection will work as intended? This is the image I would like to detect
