Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

Well that could also be a cause. You should use the same camera for best results!
Why shouldn’t you be able to use a webcam with the capture script? I never used it with anything else to be honest :D -
@paviro hmm. Just can’t get it working for some reason… will try again. It complaind about no picam. Maybe I have to change something in the script? I’ll du another try.
-
Well the capture script does not have an enforce webcam option. Try to uninstall the picam python module, it will fallback to webcam then.
To minimize recognition errors the MagicMirror module requires two identical recognitions to be accepted as current user. If your training data is not good enough it could happen that you are never recognized twice in two directly following images -> Always unknown user.

Nooo! Don’t mess with the module code! I just added an option to force webcam use, checkout the updated code on GitHub :)
-
@paviro thanks paviro! Will do!
-
@paviro Thanks! I’ll add more images and try to recognize my face.
But It’s very interesting that facerecognition_tester can identify me only from this three images -
@paviro thanks!!! 200+ images captured and it’s now working :-) :pray: just need to tweak the threshold to be a bit more forgiving.
-
@benkej as I stated the MagicMirror module need two identical identifies in a row :)
@YourhighnessLeender glad to hear :) -
@paviro 223 positive images and no success :( maybe I have to add more :blush:
What is the best practice to take the pictures? Sit closer to picam and rotate the face or not move and shoot few picture?
