Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

[paviro]

@benkej Thats odd how does the tester react? :)

[benkej]

@paviro every trained face identify as the last person in the user list. If is only single face is trained working the tester without problem. I tried LBPH and fisher algorithm also. Already changed the picam to webcam but I get the same result :(

I put the welcomeMessage in my config.js after updating but still can’t see the welcome message…

[reaper81]

To update your module i have to use: “git pull https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition” ?

[tosti007]

@PointPubMedia The welcome message means that it shows a notification when changing to a different user.
@reaper81 if you are in the right folder you dont have to give the link, just git pull should be enough

Yeah know that, but since the last update it’s not working even with the welcomeMessage: true

@PointPubMedia I gave a look at his code and noticed he made an small mistake. I will send him a message so the problem should be solved as soon as he sees it. For the time being (which, again, probably won’t be long) you just won’t see a message :)

[paviro]

Sorry guys :D Has been a while since I last coded MM modules… It’s fixed now :)
@benkej Could you provide me a zip containing your complete MM directory?

[benkej]

@paviro sure, thank you!
here are my MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools and MMM-Facial-Recognition folders in tar.bz2 format. My config is included in the second archive.

[PointPubMedia]

@paviro You think it would be possible to display somewhere in MM2 the output from the camera at the same time as your module with a “debug” option?

It would be easier to place the camera at the right location while working on MM!

Hello,

Thanks for building this great module. When I run the “npm start” I keep getting the following message:

[MMM-Facial-Recognition] Webcam Found...
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined logged out.
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined logged out.
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.

Sometimes it regoonizes my face, but it is like a 1/1000 change. I’m wondering why, when I run the test script my it recognizes my face really fast and always. I uploaded like 350 photo’s. I’ve tryed diffrend back grounds, with enough light.

I just dont understand why it won’t see my face while the test script is 95% of the time right.

My config File:

@s1084836 like my mirror. I have the same problem

[s1084836]

@benkej Oh, its really strange. Did you manage to work around it?

[benkej]

@s1084836 unfortunately not. I switched off the facial recognition

Hey,

my issue is, i cannt select my USB Cam.
I set “useUSBCam” to “true”, but still get piCam as the choosen one. (PiCam ausgewählt)

MMM-Facial-Recognition] ALGORITHM: LBPH
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] Training data loaded!
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] --------------------
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] PiCam ausgewählt...
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

		        // recognition intervall in seconds (smaller number = faster but CPU intens!)
		        interval: 2,
		        // Logout delay after last recognition so that a user does not get instantly logged out if he turns away from the mirror for a few seconds
		        logoutDelay: 15,
		        // Array with usernames (copy and paste from training script)
		        users: ['Yakko'],
		        //Module set used for strangers and if no user is detected
		        defaultClass: "default",
		        //Set of modules which should be shown for every user
		        everyoneClass: "everyone",
		        // Boolean to toggle welcomeMessage
		        welcomeMessage: true
		    }
		},

Any Ideas how to force it to take my USB cam?
Thanks,
Yakko

Hi everyone. I try to make work the face recognition but always tell me that I´m strange, but when I do test with the facialreconition.py test alway recognize me. Someone know why I have this problem? How can I solve the problem? Thanks

[eliddell]

I have not loaded this on the mirror yet but did you change the face users and algorithm on the mirror and it’s config?

I’m having an issue where if I train it to recognize two different people the test script recognizes both as the same person :(

[strawberry 3.141]

@eliddell you must be twins :D

[eliddell]

Actually I found a problem in the config.py

If I comment out the line i= min(0, i-1) and return i-1 in the user_label method it works… Now just want to make sure we don’t get an index out of bounds…

Not terribley familiar with python. So what does that min(int, int) do exactly

Hi, I seem to be having an issue when trying to implement the face recognition tester. When I run the tester on the file I am getting an error, I cannot seem to resolve it.

This is what displays in terminal:

Loading training data...

ALGORITHM: LBPH

Training data loaded!

Picam selected...

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "facerecognition.py", line 61, in 

label, confidence = model.predict(crop)

TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

My picamera stays active but I can see that it has stopped on my face in the background, Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue, as I am at a loss here.
