''''
Training Multiple Faces stored on a DataBase:
	==> Each face should have a unique numeric integer ID as 1, 2, 3, etc                       
	==> LBPH computed model will be saved on trainer/ directory. (if it does not exist, pls create one)
	==> for using PIL, install pillow library with "pip install pillow"
